What are the methods and key points of yoga abdominal breathing?

Everyone knows about yoga, which is a very good aerobic exercise that can be done by both men and women. It can burn fat in the process of yoga, thereby helping to lose weight. It can also shape the body. In particular, yoga can hone one's mind. When doing yoga, it is recommended that you do abdominal breathing. The following introduces the correct method of yoga abdominal breathing.

Yoga abdominal breathing methods and points:

(1) Abdominal breathing: Lie on your back and place your hands lightly on your navel. When you inhale, breathe the air directly into your abdomen. When you inhale correctly, your hands will rise with your abdomen. The deeper the inhalation, the higher the abdomen rises, and as the abdomen expands, the diaphragm moves downward. Then exhale, pulling your abdomen inward toward your spine; by contracting your abdomen as much as possible, exhale all the waste gas from your lungs. As you do this, your diaphragm will naturally rise.

(2) Chest breathing: Lie on your back or sit with your back straight and take a deep breath without expanding your abdomen; instead of expanding your abdomen, breathe air directly into your chest area. During chest breathing, the chest area expands and the abdomen should remain flat. Then, as the inhale becomes deeper, the abdomen draws inward toward the spine; as you inhale, the ribs expand outward and upward, and then as you exhale, the ribs draw downward and inward.

(3) Complete breathing: Complete breathing is the most correct yoga breathing method. You can choose to stand, lie on your back, or sit with your back straight. Take a deep breath, fill the bottom of the lungs first. At this time, the abdomen will expand, and then fill the middle and upper parts of the lungs. When exhaling, the opposite should be done. The upper part of the lungs should be sent first, then the middle, the lower part, and finally the abdomen is squeezed inward. This long breath is a natural way of breathing. After a little practice, this breathing method will be automatically performed in all daily practice and life, and you will get used to it. This complete breathing of yoga has many benefits: due to the increased oxygen supply, the blood is purified; the lung tissue is strengthened, and the disease resistance is enhanced; the chest and abdominal vitality and endurance are increased, and the mind becomes clearer.

Abdominal breathing: Inhale through your nose and focus on your abdomen. When you inhale, your abdomen slowly expands like a balloon, and when you exhale, your abdomen tightens and you feel it sticking to your lower back.

Abdominal breathing is the most important and basic breathing method in yoga. It is the basis for learning other breathing or pranayama. Abdominal breathing is accomplished by increasing the activity of the diaphragm and reducing the movement of the chest cavity. The breathing process requires the chest to remain still, while you just feel the abdomen rising and falling with your inhalation and exhalation. Of course, many beginners find it difficult to feel the rise and fall of the abdomen in the beginning. It doesn't matter. As long as you keep practicing, focus your consciousness on the abdomen, and feel the abdomen rising and falling, you will be able to master it after a period of practice. Abdominal breathing can effectively remove excess abdominal fat and is the preferred exercise for beauty-loving women.
