Hi, I'm Kino MacGregor. We're here at Miami Life Center. Today, we're going to be taking a look at yoga and sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder that effects the nasal capacity, the nasal cavity, rather, be full, clear and free. One of the easiest ways to work with this is to allow yourself to learn how to take a longer, deeper, fuller, breath, and then be able to clean and clear the nasal passages. So, let's start off with a long inhalation and a long exhalation. Taking a comfortable seated position, whether you're able to sit in lotus or any symbol cross legged position will work. Suck in your low belly, lift the spine up out of the pelvis, and a long inhalation through the nose. Inhale. And exhale. When you breathe, you might notice you're favoring one nostril or the other. So, what we want to do is actually try yo get the breath to flow evenly through the right and left nostrils. The easiest way to do this is with a little bit of alternate nostril breathing. Inhale through both nostrils, then place your right thumb on the right nostril and exhale left. Inhale left again. Then place the last two fingers of the right hand on the left nostril, exhaling right. And then inhaling again, right away, right side. The right thumb on the right nostril, switch sides, exhale left. Inhale left again, close off the left, switch to the right. Exhale right. Right away, inhale right side. And release, exhale through both nostrils. Good. And you can try that, doing both cycles as often as you like. Usually in the morning or right before bed, as long as you're not holding your breath, this will be safe for your nervous system. I'm Kino MacGregor, and today you've been looking at yoga and sleep apnea.
