Yoga Breath for Stress Relief

Ever noticed that when you’re really stressed you take a nice deep breath?  Our bodies have a natural way of calming our minds through this automatic breath of relief.  Once you learn the yoga breath, you can incorporate it into your day to reduce stress and tension in both your body and mind.  To do the yoga breath, get in a comfortable seated position.  Inhale in through your nose then exhale the breath completely out through your nose.  As you exhale press your tongue gently against the roof of your mouth.  You will hear a loud “darth vador” sound.  Repeat the breath as long as you like.  As you breath keep the focus on your breath.  For more information about how to do the yoga breath listen to my podcast:  http://fitbysaratip.fitbysara.com/
