Chair Yoga: Breathing Techniques

Video Transcript

"So let’s get started with some breathing and let's first find ourselves in our chair. We want to place our feet on the floor creating a nice firm foundation and we want to sit away from the back of the chair a little bit so that we are using our own bodies here to sit up nice and tall rather than relying on that chair to support our backs. Let's just rest our hands lightly in our lap and we want to bring our focus to our breathing so in yoga we breathe in and out through the nose to keep our heat inside of our bodies so let's start to breathe deep into our bellies, breathing in and out, breathing in, and out. Now we want to focus on bringing in long deep breaths so as we breathe in let's count to ourselves, counting to three or even four or longer if you are able to and breathing out for the same number of counts."
