The power of breathing

As we step into September, a season often filled with new beginnings and transitions, it's an ideal time to reconnect with ourselves and find balance. This month, we’re excited to explore the mind-body connection that yoga fosters and how this timeless practice can lead us towards a greater sense of inner peace.

Yoga, with its origins in ancient traditions, offers more than just physical exercise. It encompasses breathwork, meditation, and asanas, all designed to harmonize the body and mind. Through consistent practice, yoga helps manage stress, enhance flexibility, and cultivate self-awareness, providing a holistic approach to well-being.

The Power of Breath: Why Nose Breathing Matters

Breathing through the nose may seem simple, but it plays a crucial role in our health and well-being:

• Natural Defense: The nose filters and warms the air, protecting our lungs from impurities and cold air.

• Vital Energy (Prana): In yoga, nose breathing is believed to absorb prana, the life force, which enhances vitality and overall health.

• Health Benefits: Mouth breathing can lower disease resistance and disrupt the functioning of vital glands and the nervous system.
