No, You Don't Have to Breathe the Way the Teacher Instructs in Yoga. Here's Why.
Yoga commonly pairs inhalation with expansive, lifting movements and exhalation with contracting, lowering movements, but these pairings are not strict rules and can be varied.
Long-held passive Yin poses, mindful breath, and soft, curious surrender cultivate stillness, release tension, and reveal internal edges for deep physical and emotional opening.
Gentle yin yoga sequence cultivates inner stillness and spaciousness through long-held, supported poses, mindful breath, and compassionate attention to sensations.
