Day 33 - Just Breath

6:15am vinyasa flow with Tianne.

Would you believe that I've actually learned to breath better?!

Over the past week or so, I've discovered a way to breath that allows me to inhale a bit longer.  In yoga we often do "uji" breathing - while breathing through your nose and through a constricted throat, and making darth vadder sounds.  I do this regularly, but I've always been frustrated by my shallow inhale.  I can exhale for a long count, but the inhale always stops short.

Well I have since noticed that if I consciously direct my inhale low, towards my throat rather than up towards my nose, I can inhale for at least a couple of counts longer. Awesome!
