Diaphragmatic Breathing

The largest lymphatic vessel is nestled by the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the easiest ways to move lymphatic fluid through your system, which in turn helps to eliminate toxins. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no active pump to move the lymphatic fluid back into the bloodstream. Therefore, effective lymph flow depends on muscle and joint activity, especially if the lymphatic system is compromised.

Our elbows and the biomechanics of Breath in Pranayama & Half-moon posture

In the video I am focusing on using my abdomen pull back, while tractioning my arms. This gets my lower back muscles to support a neutral ( non collapsing lower back ) off my mat. Breath work therapy has to come with a freeing of the shoulders to calm that tense rounding forward and gross negligence of the nerves to brain. Big inhales practiced in posture with a supported chest cavity on the exhale gives a stability to our bone joints in everything we do off our yoga mat. As this technique improves in yoga asana practice, quality of life improves off our yoga mats. We over emphasize a feeling of lift and traction in our yoga posture and this recruits stabilizing muscles to fire off our yoga mats.

We only care about what the yoga can do for you. This is a one way Self-care Selfish relationship! Begin from where you are! Show up as you are.

Joint Oil - Eagle Posture

Always, in yoga , whether you are a beginner or are advanced, you are each day pushing your body just a little farther. You should think of it like you are an explorer going into new territory. Wise explorers go slowly, for they never know what is around the next bend. It can be harmful to come out of a pose too fast. It is a single most sure way to hurt yourself in yoga, to ambush your poor muscles, take them unawares.

Triangle and the natural twist in our heart’s helical structure.

By recreating the heart muscles, researchers improve understanding of how the heart beats with a physical twist for optimal blood flow. We call Triangle posture ‘marriage between the heart and the lungs’. With the help of smarty pants bio-engineering scientists, we are able to understand what the Yogi’s are showing us. Powerful! The posture demonstration video is best to watch on our Instagram page. @HotYogaRochester
