Matching Ujjayi Breath to Vinyasa Yoga Movements

Video Transcript

"We're going to demonstrate how open postures require an inhale and how postures that close or move downward require an exhale. This is really important for Vinyasa yoga, as it expands and contracts. And we're matching the breath with the movement. So, exhale please into Dasana. Inhale, arms up, one. And exhale, your hands back by your sides. Now we're going to do with the Ujai breath. Inhale, up, three, two, one, into Dasana. Six, five, four, three, two, one. We're going to add a forward bend. Inhale, up, three, two, one. Forward bend, six, five, four, three, two, one. To arms up, inhaling, one, two, three. And then back to Dasana. Perfect."
