Long deep breathing, or yogic breath:

🧘‍♀️ Sit or lie in a comfortable position with the spine straight and shoulder relaxed down the back

👃🏻Inhale a deeply through the nose, allowing the abdomen to expand as you fill your lungs. Imagine the breath filling the belly first, then the chest, and finally up near your collarbones.

⏸️ Pause briefly, feeling the fullness of the lungs

👃🏻 Exhale slowly and completely - Imagine the breath leaving your upper chest first, then your chest, and finally the abdomen. Allow your belly to contract as you gently press the air back up and out.

🧘🏽‍♂️ Repeat this cycle of deep inhalation and slow exhalation. Focus on making each breath smooth and even.

🫁 As you became more comfortable and familiar with the technique, try making each inhale and exhale the same length, such as to a count of 4. As you progress with time, gradually increase the duration.

🧘‍♀️ Be patient with yourself as you learn to deepen and lengthen your breath

According to Patanjali, yoga is the practice of calming the fluctuations of the mind (chitta vritti nirodha). In the Yoga Sutras, he describes an eightfold path (Ashtanga Yoga), which includes ethical principles (yama and niyama), physical postures (asana), breath control (pranayama), sense withdrawal (pratyahara), concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana), and ultimate absorption (samadhi). This path leads to self-realization and liberation by uniting the body, mind, and spirit.
