Any practise towards pranayama has to begin with awareness of your breath. Deep abdominal breathing is the starting practise. Steps to do the practise
Lie down on your back with the knees bend, feet on the floor, knees together. Make sure your position is comfortable, the feet need not be together.
place your right palm on your belly button. left hand on the floor resting.
Now, pay attention to the way your abdomen is moving up and down with your breath. As you inhale, the abdomen rises, as you exhale if drops in towards the spine. If the reverse is true for you, start trying to follow this pattern. Be gentle, the body will learn soon.
Once you have connected with your breath, start to relax and deepen the breath. Slowly raise the abdomen to inhale and gently allow the abdomen to go towards the spine as you exhale. Do not bloat the stomach during inhaling or push it in while exhaling.
When this gets comfortable start doing equal inhaling and exhaling time. Count 1 to 4 for inhaling and same count for exhaling. Do 10 rounds of this.

Good evening,
ReplyDeleteI am contacting you to solicit your help on a film I am making. I will come in Mumbaï in April to make a documentary about the city, through the daily life of a taxi driver, and talks we can have with its customers ..
These customers will be picked at random on the street as usual, but they can also be expected.. And I was thinking about you because maybe it could be very interesting if you could talk about your work, yoga... while a little fare in taxicab through Mumbaï...
What about?
Sorry for my english, and see you soon I hope!
Regards,
Guillaume ESTIVIE
