Why to Breathe Less than Normal in Yoga: Advanced Prânâyâma by Simon Borg-Olivier

This video is part of a series of courses taught by physiotherapists and Directors of Yoga Synergy, Simon Borg-Olivier and Bianca Machliss, both live (taught throughout the world) as well as part of an online courses at Yoga Synergy ( and ) and at RMIT University (). In this video Simon Borg-Olivier explains why you should breathe less than normal in yoga and exercise. Although many breath-control exercises (prânâyâmas) ar I think that most people in the modern world should first practice diaphragmatic inhalation and passive exhalation. Then learn thoracic inhalation with the abdomen relaxed. Then learn complete breathing (abdomen then chest). Here I use a more advanced method of complete breath into the back of the body.
