"Yoga breathing helps us release stress by activating the relaxation response, reducing cortisol levels, and increasing blood circulation throughout our bodies. This increases oxygen levels in our bloodstream, which allows our brains to function better and stimulates endorphins, which make us feel happy and relaxed." -Timothy Burgin
Breathing consciously is a form of meditation.
Connecting with your breath is a great beginner practice to becoming more mindful.
Breathing with awareness vs. naturally breathing activates a different part in your brain that can help your mind better manage emotions; emotions inward and outward expressed emotions.
Retention of the breath (Either before your next inhale or holding your inhale at the "top" before you exhale) has a physiological effect on the brain overcoming moments of anxiety and more.
Understanding your breath within a yoga class stems far beyond your yoga mat and can be used as a positive tool for your everyday life.
