The pace of modern life is too high, because of the constant rush and stress, we are increasingly losing touch with our body. It would seem that breathing cannot be wrong. But because of anxiety and fatigue, it becomes frequent and shallow, and therefore we do not receive enough oxygen. Simple breathing techniques can help you cope with stress and relax.
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to master the technique of diaphragmatic breathing: you need to put your palm on your stomach, then slowly inhale and exhale. It is important that at the same time the hand goes up and down. This breathing rhythm should be maintained. Then you need to inhale and exhale well so that the inhalation is shorter than the exhalation. If the exercise is performed correctly, warmth will spread throughout the body, and heaviness will be felt in the arms and legs. Now you need to help the body to become soft: for this, the muscles of the face must be relaxed, especially the forehead, and the lower jaw must be "released".
Step 2
The full breathing technique will allow you to fully engage the volume of the lungs. You need to make a full exhalation, and then inhaling, the upper abdomen should be pushed out, then the chest smoothly expands, the inhalation ends with raising the shoulders, while the stomach is drawn in. During exhalation, the shoulders drop and the stomach relaxes. It is necessary to focus on the rhythm: note the exhalation and inhalation, and then it will be possible to feel how the whole body responds to breathing.
Step 3
Each yoga lesson ends with the asana "savasana". This wonderful relaxation technique really helps everyone to relax. To correctly perform "shavasana", you need to lie on the floor and close your eyes. At the same time, consciousness remains active - the relaxation process should be observed from the side. Then you need to take a deep breath and exhale. Moving your attention from top to bottom, begin to relax your face, neck, shoulders, arms, abdomen, lower back, hips, ankles, and feet. Attention should be moved throughout the body, with distraction, gently return to the present moment. You can stay in the Shivasana asana from 10 to 20 minutes. The exit from it should be calm, slow, with a deep breath.
