- Increase lung capacity, detoxify the lungs, blood, and balance the nervous system with this practice. Pranayama is one of the most powerful practices in yoga. Gaining insight into the flow of prana helps us to feel mastery in our physical practice, and deepens our awareness and intuitive faculties.
Today we're learning to deepen our pranayama practice with the prana strap to learn our breath print, and how to breathe more evenly into the lungs.
This three-steps breathing excercise, with a strap or band around the lower rib cage, is perfect for singers. I am a singer, and find this really useful! Will pass it along to my colleagues:-)
Great!
Yes, it is true I breathe more on the left side. A new awareness! And a big thank you from Prague, Czech Republic. For the past few months the Czech Republic has had one of the worst COVID rates in the world and of course the country is in lockdown. I was told about your practice from a friend here. I am on day 20 and will continue. I do not get everything perfect, like crow for example, but I do notice the change and strength, which is what I need. I have told others in Prague about you and the challenge. It is helping them as well to get through all of this. Thank you for all of the work you have done to make this possible.
Wow, I feel so honored to have such wonderful support from all the way in Prague! Thank you so much for that and I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the content on here Robert :) I hope things are better over there now
This is my first 30 day practice with Tim and am getting so much out of it. The instruction and constant reminders regarding form are beyond helpful and so appreciated. It makes the practice fly by as well. My only suggestion would be to tag each series distinctively to make it easier to find. Most of this series has a bright yellow slash across it but not all of them. It would be so helpful to have them labelled the same so I don’t have to spend so long looking for the next one in the series. I think these videos are the best I have done and have recommended them to many friends. I am planning on another of your series when I am finished this one next week. Thank you for sharing your excellence!
Thank you so the kind words and the suggestion Darrell!
Also, if you're interested in what's next, I would strongly suggest checking out the conscious movement community which you can access via my website yogawithtim.com - There I post 4 new videos a month that are at least an hour in length; if not, more so the flow is slower and we are able to hold poses for longer without feeling rushed. I've also posted other type of videos on there from mobility videos to challenges i've put together, to the breakdown of different poses. Anyway, I hope you check it out as it sounds like something you would be into! you get to try your first 2 weeks free to see if its something your into :)
Thank you so much Tim ,you are only yoga teacher I can follow on youtube and you are so easy to understand because you do all your videos with love ,knowledge and intelligence. I just had eeg test yesterday since I have epilepsy caused by ptsd and after triggers by breathing and flashing lights they expose patient it can show higher spikes in brainwaves and trigger a seizure,I did corpse pose and put all learned from your videos and EEG was normal .Thank you .
My diaphragam and I thank you for this restorative session!
You're welcome Anuja!
Definitely a right side breather!
Very relaxing. I felt no difference from one side of breathing to the other side. I am breathing deeply. Hope my technique is correct. Thank you Tim. Xx
Love these restorative days. Thanks for incorporating them as they stretch my breath and mental space.
You're welcome Paige! Glad you enjoyed today
Awesome. Thank you. I breathe more deeply on my right side, I didn't think much of it until this session.
I smoked for many years and so never really feel that my lungs are inflated fully with air but the little air i can breathe, seems to flow evenly. In the Savasana pose, i always feel my head does not sit comfortably on the mat, so i feel tension in my neck and never really feel completely relaxed, so i move my head slowly from side to to side, which helps or raise it slightly on a towel but concerned that I'm no longer fully flat on the mat. Apart from that, all good. Thanks Tim!
Staying current with the challenge and wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying it - I feel like I am challenging my body more than ever before. I am learning to really hold the poses properly too. I liked day 20 with understanding the gaze, and nose breathing. Wonderful job on all of this. Thank you Tim!
Thanks for taking the time to share this with me Sue! I'm so stoked to hear that you're noticing change and are enjoying the challenge :) Glad you could join me for this!!
Totally a left-side breather. Great practice. Thank you.
This breathing practice is so awesome. I think I'll come back to this from time to time. I sing in a choir so pretty balanced already, but I find out that I don't use the upper ribs as much.
Wow this was incredible. I noticed for me at least that each nostril seems to fill up the lung on the same side more and that I am barely using my right nostril at all. What a brilliant, transformative practice. Loved it.
10 minute shavasana was amazing. I love three part breath- I encourage people daily to utilize their whole lungs, most people don't appreciate our lungs' capacity!
Loved using the strap! One thing I really appreciate about your videos is how you tell us HOW to use our props whereas I feel other yoga channels will either say "use it if you need it" without further explanation, or they just don't mention it at all. Using the strap for breathing was a great way to get an idea of the symmetry of my breathing!
My breath was more prominent on the right side. And used the 10 minutes to mediate clear mind and pray.
Thank you for great breathing techniques
Today I was not able to "see" from which side I tend to draw my breath from more often, but will keep trying! The strap really helped focus, and it was a lovely and calm practice, thank you!
did this ysterday before bed ...felt good ..I hink I breathe more with the right ...
Thanks for this I will incorporate this into my daily life, I had a huge decision to make last night and couldn't sleep. Now I feel ready to deal with the day! Namaste!
Glad you found today helpful Cris!
Thanks Tim! This practice is complimenting the Whim Hof breathing method very well!
I am right side breather !!! 🙏 Namaste 🙏
This was really helpful. I never realized my breath was so uneven, I had to really work to get more breath in to my right side. This will be a great practice for me to keep cycling through. Thank you, Tim!
This is brilliant and so effective to assess your dominant breathing side. I breathe more dominantly on my left and am right handed so I was very surprised. That's another thing to work on! Thank you :)
Left side, strong side! Just a bit uneven but good practice and i added a much needed suboccipital release, pretty sure one you did from last years challenge. Great start to the restorative day of the week.
So glad to hear you enjoyed today Brandon!
So interesting. I didn't realise how shallow my breathing is and that I really had to concentrate to get my right side working. Wonderful! Thanks Tim.
As a singer I’ve been using diaphragmatic breathing since 4th grade. I never realized how when we do breath work in rehearsal we really are just doing pranayama. It cool seeing how different aspects of my life connect, it really shows how important the breath is I guess.
I love learning about people's experiences and completely different practices are connected to each other. Thank you for sharing Rowen.
Enjoyed this very much.... I’m neutral side breather. And the more oxygen in the better for our insides.
txs tim still here,,,,,,,loved the prana breathing ,,,peace
You're welcome Lenny! Thanks for joining me :)
Thank you Tim!
I noticed that quite often it's hard for me to concentrate on breathing slowly and mindfully. I kinda need to some time slow down and let go the thoughts and worries I have in my head. This time longer shawasana really helped me to clear my mind a bit.
We did 5 mins of meditation! I like the awareness of breathing that we are developing with the restorative days!
Loved day 21 left side more I would say. I also found a 10 minute nap at the end which was great.
Haha that's awesome. Stoked to hear that you enjoyed today Paul
I am a whole rib cage breather! But a super tight left hipper, whatever! Thank you for this amazing practice
You're welcome Paul! Stoked you could join me
I see that the number of likes are way down, kind of like the "breath days" for the instructor courses in India, I remember you saying on breath days there aren't a lot of westerners! I've come to love these days and look forward to them. Thank you!
Loved it, the strap was really helpful to see where I am breathing...handy tool! Thank you
I found that my right side was expending more(my ribs where broken on my left side a few years ago). This technique , with the strap, realy helps to focus the breath in all the sides of the body. Thank you for charing!
I needed this today! Especially because I feel a cold coming on. Thank you
Wow what perfect timing Tim. I dont feel a cold coming on but I'm pretty certain after 10 minutes in Shavasna Covid-19 wont stand a chance if it tries to fuck with this Immune System.
Stay Gold Tim👍
This was the perfect practice for today! Thank you
You're welcome Angela! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you! That was much needed xx
Really enjoyed the breath practice and the calm that comes with it.
Stoked to hear that Leslie!
Still here Tim! Meeting you at the live class yesterday was such a treat. Keep up the great work! I really love taking a little bit of Laguna with me wherever I go ☺️
That's great to hear Kate! I am still stoked that you were able to join me, thanks for all your support :)
Thanks Tim! Let's do more meditation videos.
Yes, today was very calming and I am looking forward to more Pranayama practice. I seem to breathe more on the left side but the difference was subtle. Only 1 more week left, I wonder what that will bring? Hmmm
Hmmm I wonder ;) Thanks for joining me Richard!
Thank you Tim! It seems I breathe more to the front.
Right side of my body definitely gets more breath. Shavasana is hard for me but I am working on it! :)
That's great Suzanne :)
I can't belive that third week is over. It is crazy! I have tendency to breath more to my right side of the body, it wasn't easy to shift it to the other 😅 but the feeling after meditation is priceless! 😊
Crazy right?! Thanks for joining me Iva :)
Great practice, feeling a lot better, and will look into adding it more to my daily life. I was breathing more on my left side.Thanks again!
More to the right side .thanks again
You're welcome Matt :)
Wow! Thank you so much Tim! My breathing was more central, I didn't favor any particular side. This was definitely needed and will practice regularly. Patrick Tham from the FB community page inspired me to post a photo. Have a great day! Namaste!
Thank you Tim.. it's called a corset 😁😁 I love your historical lessons. Great practice!
Haha thanks Dee! Glad you could join me today :)
I wanted to tell Tim that too.But I am 2 years too late.🙂🙂🙂
Loved this. Need to incorporate into my day!
Not a "one sided breather" :)
pranayama rocks
thnaks!
Seem to breathe equally on both sides. Nice to relax today 😉
Glad you enjoyed it Mary :)
I laughed out loud😊 which is also healing. Loved this!
So interesting and enlightening! I breath more on my left side. In general right of my body is more blocked than the other
Seems I breathe more prominently in my right side. Really interesting to focus on the whole and breathing in to the back, front, left and right equally.
It's amazing when we can find that mind-body connection. It's great to observe those differences without any judgment.
Thank you!
So nice! I breathe more into my left side. Right side is tight, generally.
Loved the pranayama practice! I wish there could be more in the other days too :) am a left side breather too. It was interesting to realize that! I'll definitely work on in. Thanks :)
Thank you. I finally caught up! Sort of -- a day behind due to the time difference. The breathing feels easier on the left. Tightness on the right, which is weird since I'm having some issues on my left side.
You're welcome! Glad you could join me for today
Tim this was wonderful
Right side breather!
Liked the feedback with the cord around ribs. Interesting
Thank you for this practice
Loved the idea of using a strap to really feel the expansion with the breath :-)
love it!
I do savasana in the middle of my office and people do think I'm nuts! (But to be fair, this is not their only data point.) Thanks for today.
Definitely felt my right side expanding more. Was not sure how to get the other side to match?
Still in 🌿 my left side is definitely more dominant... I will return to this one.
Lovely. I didn’t notice if one side was different from the other.
Great! Thanks, Shelly.
Pranayama can heal you physically, mentally and spiritually
You know it
Hey Tim. I was wondering how alert or not alert you're supposed to be during final relaxation. It always seems like such a recovery pose but I worry I'm relaxing too much and zoning out. Thx
I was feeling the shavasana today since I didn't realize I was lying on my mat for 30 minutes straight! I almost fell into a deep sleep. Haha!
I always feel like I have a lot of imbalances in my body but surprisingly I felt like my breath was pretty even.
That's great Erin :)
Loved the pranayama. I think i breathe equally as i couldnt feel any tightness in any side. I like the seated meditation. I also took your recommendation to do chivasana (spelling.??). I really noticed a buzz in my body, almost as if i could feel my whole body's pulse? Is this normal to feel? I loved the feeling! Thanks again for the enlightenment every day x
Did they 21 today they 21 finished day 21 this is the last yoga meditation for me I finished yesterday also I finished it up yesterday I mix my routine
Way to get it done!
Really Feeling that diaphrahgum
Day 21 done.
Is it day 21 already??wow.Where has the time gone?
'Time goes by quickly when you're having fun.' :)
Short and sweet. During Shevahsana are we suppose to extend the neck by dropping the chin or tilt head back slightly chin up?
I liked the practice. My left side is breathing in more than my right
Beautiful
Why only 10 mn... It's awesome feeling.... Today I did it more than 20 mn... Happy day ahead
As you discovered you can actually do this as long as you like. 😊
👍
Really noticed breathing into my left side more than my right.
Ugh I definitely breathe through my left more! I can’t even take a full breathe; I feel like when I inhale I take a small breathes because I can’t intake anymore. Probably due to the fact that I breathe in more with my left! Any suggestions? Just keep practicing?
felt pretty balanced in my breathing
Nice!
Glad to hear it Michael :)
I am also a left side breather. It would be great if you would hang out with us for the full 10 minutes of shavasana.
You got it Andrea!
Breathing more into my right, funny feeling! And, yes, it is a silent 'g'. 😉
That was great Tim. My lungs/ribs moved exactly like yours - left more dominant. It was good to be able to mindfully breathe so that your ribs moved evenly. Just a questions, has doing this type of controlled breathing helped your surfing?
Thank you!it was perfect for me today for many reasons☺️, see you tomorrow! ps: even sided breathing
These are the times when I think I should not be doing yoga. I don't know how to breathe in to different places other than my lungs. And my lungs are not in separate pieces.
Great. Tight upper chest, but bilaterally so...
Nice. Did you place the strap on your bottom ribs or just below them?
I breathe more on my left side 😱 I didn't even know that was possible!
Still in - Day 21✔️
YES!! Almost done!
I believe Day 22 is missing!
Awsm. How about teaching some Yoga Nidra (sleep) some day?
Good idea! Thanks!
Hi Tim - Where is day 22 please? I can't find it. Thank you :-)
Great practice, diaphragm is with a silent G haha
You know it! Thanks for joining me Natali
I take in a bigger breath through the left side.
