Breathing Exercises – your breathing matters. Get better at it.

You breathe constantly, continuously, every single day. But how much time you do you actually put into focusing on your breathing? Breathing exercises, putting focus on how you breathe and even why you breathe, can help propel you to higher levels of fitness, well being, health and happiness.

“Man may exist some time without eating; a shorter time without drinking; but without breathing his existence may be measured by a few minutes.”

– Yogi Ramacharaka

You breathe constantly, every day & practice makes perfect, so you’re good, right?

Probably not. Do you know what “entropy” is? Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system.

What that means to your body is that everything is slowly degrading and falling apart. The less attention you put into a part of your body, the more you’re allowing the natural inertia towards increased entropy to occur. Consequently, you’ve got to put work into your breathing, just like you do your muscles. And just like with training muscles, you’ve got to start at the beginning with Diaphragmatic Breathing.

Diaphragmatic breathing is the engine of your inhale and a strong inhale is going to properly feed your body. Before moving into more esoteric breathing exercises, you need to have your solid base down pat.

If your lungs have been compromised through injury or illness, please consult your physician before beginning any focused breath work.
