A healthy respiratory system is the fundament of all the other systems, meaning it has an effect on the nervous system, the endocrine system, the circulatory, the muscle system, and also your energetic system.

Everything starts with intention before it ultimately becomes a habit, then a practice, and eventually, a way of life, a way of being.

When we consciously invite any 'lost' parts from the astral realms back in our physical system and while doing that, thoroughly feel it happening, we bring everything in our system into unity.

Why do we breathe through the nose in most of these covered techniques? Breathing through our nose makes sense for many reasons, and opens up the gates to our 'Sanctuary of stillness' in a most gentle way.

Without knowledge of the breath, we cannot become masters. Because when we are unaware of the power of our breath, we want to control the mind.

Start this exercise after you have opened your body with your Asana practice or some simple exercises like the ones we did in the ‘opening your body’ video.

Many definitions of meditation have the same common ground, which is being in the flow in the here and now. With practice, we can all tap into this flow of eternity, over and over again.

Ujjayi Pranayama is commonly practiced in Yoga and meditation; it involves inhaling and exhaling through the nose while slightly constricting the back of the throat, and making a sort of a ocean breeze like sound at exhale.

Some of the benefits of this technique include:

• Deep and smooth breathing:
Ujjayi Pranayama encourages deep and smooth breathing. As you inhale, let the breath fill your belly, expanding it fully. Feel the breath rise into your chest, expanding the ribcage. As you exhale, release the breath s...

The basic idea of Kapalbhati is that the brain and all parts of the skull are cleansed through short but strong exhalations of air.

By focusing on the present moment, we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment — although that may be challenging at first, it becomes more and more natural as we maintain our practice.

The purpose of bilateral stimulation is to activate both sides of the brain, specifically the left and right hemispheres. This is believed to help the brain process traumatic memories and emotions more effectively by integrating them into the individual's overall memory network. During bilateral ...

This exercise may (or may not) bring up a lot of emotions from your subconscious. When in doubt, always seek the assistance of a professional or EMDR practitioner.

In a similar way of a hemisphere stimulation as done through EMDR, there is this simple practice you can apply while connecting with your breath before going to sleep.

Bandhas are deliberately applied contractions, so-called locks we make in our body, kinda like a dam that prevents the water to leave a lake in order to then get into a natural flow again.

This breathing session is also done in a rather dynamic and strong way in order to sort of reset our energetic system while also opening it up to an awareness that takes place on a subtle level.

This is a strong breathing exercise. Start with half the intensity for the first time and gradually intensify the breathing and pace as you are coming back to this exercise a few more times.

Become aware how you can already extend the Bandhas and breath retentions as you go along with your daily practice

In this practice, the breath is forcefully drawn in and out our abdomen area, we fill it up like a balloon and then deflate it again in a steady, medium-paced rhythm.

Cosmic Breathing it is not really a complex technique per se, it is more about a state of mind that we wanna bring to this Breathing Session.

Our mind is as much our closest ally as it is our most challenging nemesis. So what is it that makes this relationship a tricky one, and what can we do to meet it with understanding, patience, and love to bring a state of equilibrium to it?
