S S Shiva Singh Khalsa
Spirit Rising Yoga, USA
The power of breath and posture: Releasing the blocks
As we grow older and start losing flexibility of our ribcage and spine, the space available for lungs to work is
decreased impeding satisfying complete breath. Natural breathing takes into consideration the three purposes of
breathing: replenishing, warming, and cleansing. Simple effective Yoga postures and pranayama brings our awareness
back to our breathing patterns with the focus on the structure of the breath and the postures that support it.
