Breathing is so basic to yoga that some instruction is offered in nearly every beginner’s class. Yet, the precise fundamentals of yogic breathwork--and its potential to take us into the depths of the yoga experience--are seldom taught to Western students. Now, on Yoga Breathing, listeners learn the essential principles and techniques of this tradition: Finding the thread of the “internal breath” • Ujjayi breathing practice • Opening the tree of breath • Lying and seated practices, and more.
