The Yogic Breath, is a very basic principle of how our body will react when we inhale or exhale. This sounds so logically, but why do we still have to learn them--- if it happens naturally?
The issue is, not many people allow their breaths to flow freely--- maybe due to the fast pace of the lifestyle and piling up stress level. The common ones are: really shallow upper chest breathing and reverse breathing.
Yogic Breath is a good head start when you are in the First Trimester. Because when your tummy starts growing, this exercise may be a little too challenging.
Let set your breathing pattern right!
Easier option: Lie down on your back ( knees bend or straight, whichever one is comfortable for your lower back)
Divide your body into 3 parts: The Abdomen, The Rib-cage, The Chest
Inhaling:
Breathe down into the Abdomen so that it bloats, then continue to fill up the rib-cage area so that it expands, and one last inhale to fill up the chest.
Exhaling:
Release the air slowly from the chest, then the rib-cage and one last bit of exhale to release the abdomen, so that they soften down towards the spine.
This is one round. Do about 10 rounds daily.
When you're confident with the practice, try the same method sitting up ( a chair or on the floor cross legged).
