A Yoga Initiation

30/8/2019

0 Comments

 
This is a series of three videos I have made that would be a really good start to someone new to yoga. Once you have learned the technique in the first video, you can just do the practise in the second and third videos.  

A Full Yogic Breath

The first video is on a Full Yogic Breath. It teaches you how to use your entire lung capacity. It releases your diaphragm and stimulates your Vagus Nerve. Breathing is fundamental to our lives and learning to breathe well is the most fundamental self care that there is. This is a sound track, you can lie down on a yoga mat or on your bed to practise this. 

Breathwork is referred to as Pranayama in yoga. Pranayama translates as control of the life force energy. If you read this article on the Vagus nerve you will begin to understand why.
Practising this at any time during the day will be helpful to balance your body, mind and emotional system.

Sun Salutation

This is a classic physical practise practised with variations by Yogi's all over the world. It's good to learn so that you can just flow with it. Watch and practise at the same time till you get the hang of it.

Yoga Nidra

This is a relaxation technique that you can practise once you have completed the physical practise.

It increases body awareness and will completely relax you. Sometimes yogis practise this as a long practise but I have kept everything short because everyone is busy and I wanted it to be useful as a close to a physical practise.


It's important to spend some time relaxing in Savasana after doing a physical practise. This particular practise increases body awareness and improves left right balance. It's a great meditative practise to use with children who are learning cross body exercises.
