"In this clip we're going to be showing, demonstrating the full Yoga breath. This is Martha, she will be demonstrating it for me. So, I'm going to have her first lay down. Head right there, legs this way laying down in the Savasasna Pose. Arms to your sides about forty-five degrees. Let your feet be at least two feet apart. So, give it a little bit. Feet just flopped off to the sides. Allow the face to soften. Very gently close the eyes. Slow down the breath. After you slow down the breath, think about deepening your breath. Long, complete exhales. And, then we're going to go into a nice three part breath. As you inhale, pull the breath deep into the belly. Let the ribs expand and then the chest rise. As you exhale, the chest deflates. The ribs almost knit back together and the belly falls in. So, bring all your thoughts to your breath. Long, deep inhales. Long, complete exhales. You breathe into the belly, then feel the ribs and let the chest expand. As you exhale, you deflate the chest. Ribs come back together and the belly falls in towards the spine. It's a wonderful way to start your Yoga class to bring a little quiet into the mind. Get comfortable with your breath. Because, you do use breath through the practice of Yoga. I'm going to let her enjoy these few breaths here."
