Being in the fitness industry I always knew breathing was crucial throughout workouts and
sports. Due to this I’m always aware of my breathing however I never practiced breathing
techniques like Ujjayi, Nadi Shodhan, Kapalbhati. After trying a few rounds properly and
focused, the feeling afterwards is so different from one another. I didn’t think something so
‘simple’ or ‘basic’ in life could have such an impact on the state of mind, body and soul. I
have a new found respect for breathing. I have realized now my breathing has slowed down
when I am resting, I do not require as much air when I’m teaching classes, I’m not losing my
voice or gasping for air at the end of classes. And I am able to control it better overall.
