Hello, my friends. I am preparing to go to a local yoga school and start with my yoga lessons. I am interested in whether breathing is important when practicing yoga. I would say it is, but I would like to hear what more experienced ones think about this subject. Thanks in advance.

Hi, there. Breathing is very important for yoga practice. Yoga is an optimal combination of movement and breathing. It is very important to coordinate breathing and movements. In that way you will have a correct posture and that is what is effective. A proper breathing should be deep, slow and rhythmical. You will be surprised how many things you will have to learn about breathing. But, don’t try to know everything before your class. You will learn all that in yoga school from your instructor. I hope you will be satisfied. Bye!
