Breath Notes

 

  • The practitioner is ATTENTIVE to breath while focused on the process of asana and quiet.
  • In movement, consciously linked to breath, we produce the rhythmic effect of life. It’s what humans have done for centuries; and therein lays yoga’s simple yet profound magic: breath in movement and rhythm.
  • When a yogi comes home to their breath-centric core they kiss the soul to receive their full inheritance.
  • At the center point, breath is the building of consciousness and through breath in heightened consciousness, jettisoning old scripts, the yogi constructs a personal story of renewal formed by inspiration.
  • A breath focus narrows the gap between body and mind so that when the yogi concentrates on the physical act of breathing, the mind comes into the here and now.
  • Breathing is both automatic and responsive to signals.
  • Anyone can relieve tension within the body by using breath.
  • Vinyasa is really about breath directed by asana.
  • The all-encompassing breath within (samana vayu) circulates from the solar plexus in the middle of the body and contributes to healthy metabolism and digestion.
  • Breath movement is secondary muscular movement.
  • Pranayama (breath management) is a “calm and lucid entrance into the very essence of life.” M. Eliade
  • When yoga teaches us to breathe with ease and move in awareness, and when we learn to arrive at a pose – and life – with equanimity, that memory is lodged as experience in the body. In this way, yoga’s therapeutic is embodied and forges a connection between the physical and non-physical. It works by calming the body to treat agitation driving the monkey mind, for while stress is perceived in the mind it is felt in the body.
