Adi leads a calming breathing technique that will improve concentration and ground you into this moment. First, sip the breath through the seven main chakras of the body. Finish with three rounds of ujjayi pranayama, or victorious breathing. Much like clenching a garden hose to increase water pressure, constricting the throat in this breath powerfully directs the flow of oxygen to the parts of the body that need it most, creating the characteristic “hissing” sound we all associate with ujjayi pranayama.
Thanks for a nice, calming and instructive breathing session :-)
(Reminds a lot of a longer breathing instruction from a full length yoga class, also led by Adi, sitting in …a garden, I think, that I really enjoyed. Haven’t seen that session for long now, though? It was absolutely amazing, almost 20 min of just breathing technique)

That was absolutely beautiful…thank you, normally Im off what the instructor is doing but you are perfect with your instructions…that was so enjoyable I will be sharing this with others. What a gift for today, Namaste to you …from Sunny Australia
Thanks – very grounding perfect for a Friday morning. Adi always does a great job. I so enjoy all the Yoga Today classes. Thank you and Namaste
This was fantastic and reminded me to continue to focus on the importance of my breathwork in my practice. Thank you so much!
That was wonderful. Thank you :)
Ive been lost from my Yoga for some time now. This has brought me back. Thank you. Namaste from Los Angeles.
This looks very interesting. I was reading about the benefits of yoga here
The Yogic route to health and wellness. Yoga enhances our energy, vitality, strength, flexibility and levels of endurance in our body. Thanks for the breathing session.
Dear Yogis and Yoginis,
Thank you all for your feedback. I have always been very interested in pranayama, and the effectiveness of breath work on all systems of the mind and body. I will definitely be sharing more breathing practices with you in the future.
Many Blessings,
Adi
Another great video. Thanks for the very calming breathing techniques.
Hi Adi,
Thanks for a great video.
I want to ask that you held your breath for 6 chakras, why muladhara was left out.
why you did not hold your breath for the first chakra?
pls reply
