[ekall100]

[BearrBearr101]

I love her voice!

[supahfreeak]

She's got such a lovely accent. I can't tell if she's from India and her accent has simply acclimated from being in America for a long time or perhaps she's spent some time in England as well? Very lovely videos at any rate.

[zoerickard]

@supahfreeak I'm picking up a Canadian instead of British accent, and I'd bet she moved to Canada in her childhood or early teens with Indian parents, so has the influence of their accent at home, but the Canadian accent at school and socially. No, I'm not a stalker, nor do I know her, I just enjoy accents and think I've got her picked. lol

[Aliancey]

A very charming lady presenting a common sense introduction to pranayama. I have been practising yoga for 2 months and everything she says is exactly as my yoga instructors promote in class.

[Xunbound]

her body is amazing.... given that her age must be like 50. really amazing

[Srirachiu]

holy crap, a science lesson and yoga class all in one

[abhay1987]

This woman is God's gift. We must practice yoga and pranayama  ..Namaste !!!

[chris103050]

@qwerty78566 What a childish remark.

[prasanth9910]

very good class... namestea

[Mjolbaggar]

i sould start yoga. massive arms.

[caponi14]

She has fucking big guns for a woman

[TheDeLaKore]

she talks so smooth and flowing..its like im listening to a river with words lol

[trisoma1]

True pranayama is eucapnic, but using your full lung capacity when you do not need it, will lower your CO2 level too low.

Blowing your nose may constrict the tissues around the vomer bone, causing the nose to be more stuffy. A calmer way to clear the nose is to hold it and bob the head forward a few times.

Asthma is mainly caused by overbreathing. More breathing will NOT release more O2 to the tissues- look up the Bohr effect.

[hellygalpal2011]

this woman is extremely helpful and very good at what she does.why all the negative comments?

[OscarMaris]

@hellygalpal2011 she doesn't have a beard?

[gullu1891]

ANGELA G|I OWE U THIS ONE

[nadeem5476]

alhamdoLILLAH i already do and never wear glasses like this shit and fake instructor :) go get some life and judge things from proofs.

[estebelle]

@nadeem5476

You invoke God in your negative comment? Is this right ?

On top of that,you are insulting her video which I find very helpful.

[nadeem5476]

@estebelle this is a fake instructor bcz she is lacking so many things . well found that video helpful thats good , please do follow .

[nadeem5476]

how healthy she is :) she uses glasses and having so FATS on her body ! fake yoga instructor :)

[leidenhag]

@nadeem5476 She is NOT fat, and what does wearing glasses got to do with health? :)

[nadeem5476]

@leidenhag for sure weak eyesight is related with health :)

if she cant overcome with her OWN eyesight why she is making fool to others ?? :)

[ThinkingGuy100]

@nadeem5476 weak eyesight is related with genes and diet. May be if she didn't do this exercises she could be blind.

[meloearth]

@nadeem5476 Uh, hon, look at her arms. Do you see muscle tone? if not, YOU need glasses. Don't act like stupid. Move on, go see a Lady Caca video.

[nadeem5476]

@meloearth hehehe see his tire tummy :) dear dont take it on heart :) i have seen the real yoga people and they seems healthy , internally as well as exterior (appearance) and real yogis never use glasses , alhamdoLILLAH m not use glasses bcz my eye sight is crispier than yours , bcz u cant see her eyesight problem and you cant see her fats on tummy , u cant see many more things as well :) so better join her and wear glasses after a few months :) kekekkekee

[meloearth]

@nadeem5476 You are just jealous. Too much time on your hands to write a reply that's more like a letter. LOL Get lost.

[nadeem5476]

@meloearth fools always dont have proof to support their talks :) LIKE YOU ,loooooooooser :) hahhahahaaa

[ThinkingGuy100]

@nadeem5476 you badly need to start practicing yoga and heel your soul.

[mattaraful]

wow that is a lot of talking, had to skip like 5min

[ahhhhhron]

yoga is good i do it once everyday straightened me out.

[megiddoxygen]

I really enjoyed this video, and was wondering if I could have your permission to use it for one of my projects in school. I have to get your permission, otherwise it is considered plagerism.

thank you

[emomagica]

She has a blueish - purple aura!

[herbalveda]

I just wanted to bring this to your attention, when you are practising any type of breathing exercises, you do need clean & clear atmosphere to get fresh air as much as possible. Here in this video, the first thing I notice that this lady has candles lit behind at where she is sitting. These candles are made of Petrolatum & can be dangerous, unless you have candles made of Natural waxes.

Sorry to say, but these candles are harming instead of doing any good.

[atrickpay11]

"consult your physician"...yea right...screw that.

[Aephqan]

Thanks a lot. :)

[han0115]

What do you think of CPAP treatment. I am trying to get used to it and think it is hard on my heart so I am trying your breathing I think.

Thanks Bob

[222Cippalippa]

thanks for sharing your knoweledge

[9009tubeyou]

Question, if this exercise is to increase V02 capacity, can I combine the techniques in this video with swimming to achieve more results?

[anisuthideyakoindu]

thank you very much, Kavita! You explain it so clear and one can see and feel you are giving the right advise. Yoga is just wonderful!

[stellarshore]

God, I would love to kiss her body, taste her arms and lips.

[AZUREGLIDE]

@stellarshore Down boy!

[araceliful]

You speak so beautifully! well explained . thanks for teaching us!.. first time I hear about this but I want to see all your videos.

[lucasroyalportugal]

she really does sound like trish tuckinawa off family guy... priceless. 

[speedcraft18]

Hi. My name is Albert 29 years from Malta. I am a freediver and practice apnea for about 10 years now. Breathing is very important in this sport but unfortunately here in Malta we dont have specific yoga instructors specialized in breathing and pranayama. can you give me any suggestions for increasing lung capacity ?? my email is : speedcraft18@yahoo.com.au

thanks and best regards

Albert

[qqsxxx]

She is really pretty...much nicer as all these old bearded yoga masters:-D

[PAKposse]

as with all drugs don't trust the dealer or seller, pranayama like all mojo movements will make you more open, yea great when you live in a monastry or peaceful beach by the sea surrounded by ppl whose idea of wealth is how many friends they have, friends not objects, but it's a muthafuckin curse if you live in a Capitalist dog eat dog city. Your enhanced openess is like blood to Sharks and Reptilians. In short you become a Target to the Predators.

The cure? .... aha that's do my 99.9 course

[mindfields07]

@PAKposse Good point. This is a problem of living in the real world. Like people becomming christians, accepting the good stuff -- but suddenly they realize this puts them at odds with the world. The world becomes a prison with evil lurking at every corner. Unless ofcourse, they have read enough about religion to GET it. What happens outside is tighly knit with what goes on inside you. If you see predators everywhere, this is a learned-behavior that becomes YOU after a while. New city perhaps?

[davidjmechanic]

Behold a real woman ! Thank you for the upload.

[SubconsciousDweller]

You are awesome! thank you for sharing your videos!

[DjBuBbOGum]

@greggzccfclfc - OMFG!!! YES SHE DOES!!! lol

i thought i recognized the voice

[sness23]

amazing.

[xxramonyxx]

Great useful tips!! Thank you... Although i am quite confused (excuse my ignorance) about the goat-like image in the back-ground at the beginning. Love and peace!

[whatsupplayer100]

@xxramonyxx The goat-like image is a symbol of one of your Chakra. I read that sometimes, when you are meditating you will often see images of beast-like creatures. Some look kinda of demonic but they are only subconscious visions of your energy. I did yoga for about a week. For a spit second a saw something that looked quite scary and demonic followed by a rush of energy, so I quit for now. My instructor said it was just a certain energy release, not an actual creature.

[thecj29]

She is beautiful

[kolinmartin]

Thank you for passing on your knowledge in a responsible manner. I am using alt nostral breathing for my mediumship training, and its nice to see that you teach your skills in such an understandable way..Bless you

Colin (Wales UK)

[euphonic48]

[euphonic48]

[GhostGuitars]

[TopJimmyWinn]

[mkvswamy]

GREAT video for newbies.Thanks for the tips.sriveer limited dot com

[violetgirl615]

this really helped me.! thank you very much in deed. :)

[3salamanders]

Excellent! Thank you very much.

[TheSpluh]

@greggzccfclfc Agreed.

[PancharutnamUNIVERSE]

I like this Introduction which is good for beginners! t THIS instructor is fairly good sheis not mentioning any Sanskrit terms ! terms at the back ground. in that aspect she Shilpa fully concentrates on practise and silent which is golden! The genleman is so good he tells all the Saskritt terms and meanings briefly . All the description are very brief and upto the point Pretty wise, Shilpa's Yoga! SHeis perfect which admire!We have to aim at Perfection and achieve it!

[PancharutnamUNIVERSE]

@PancharutnamUNIVERSE This Instructor gives a lecture which is theory ; she is not demostrating physically which is essentially. this shoul be giveh ih writing in the form of notes! Everyone knows what she tells1 This will be boring. Totally mising the target. That's our YOGA PRATISE in which people are solely interested!

[zwmification]

after you get into your siting position close your eyes take a few deep breath's and see the prana energy in the air it is white stranes of energy that are everyware vibrating and moving breath this energy in seeing the energy rush into you threw your nose see it filling the empty void within and exhale do this cycle for 15 min.

[joneengl]

What happened to basic instruction of breathing? Misleading title sister.

[IsabelleDuSoleil]

Very well done, clear and comprehensive presentation, well done!

[kartikkz]

how to stop snoring,teeth biting any technique

[himmats1982]

wtf! why not you show wht to do?

keep ur mouth shut and show the real stuff!

[lukasp7985]

Hi, doesnt any from you( especially someone erudite on combination of western-based and eastern medicine) know how do all the techniques on expanding lung capacity and thereby bringing more oxygen into the body per unit of time, which is from this aspect beneficial for all organs, cope with the contradiction that the more oxygen in the body the more ROS (reactive oxygen specias) are created as a result of that, thereby harming the tissues by oxydation stress? Thanks for sophisticated answer

[John845]

I have mild asthma issues and I pray that this will help me overcome it. I have changed my diet and lifestyle to prevent further issues with it, but I have yet to start doing yoga. I have put it off my entire life for some reason.. I thought just being an athlete was enough, boy was I wrong. The day I got diagnosed with asthma out of the blue, truly shocked and frightened me. Due to natural remedies and eating healthy I have been able to subdue the asthma, partially. I hope yoga can eliminate it

[ambdded]

now benefits of pranayam can be measured in terms of lungs efficiency in shunkh using Shunkh meter developed by Prof. Agarwal Embedded Technology Guru. view shwaaspathy@youtube to know more

[thisisady]

ahhhh..... i think u missed the main part!!! Pranayama........helloooo!!!!!

[Romanianlust]

very cool

[necrofairy]

thank you for being detailed

[lotusmoonrising]

fabulous video thankyou!

[creativetoria]

Good information, but didn't actually teach any Pranayama...

[lucidtv]

indeed. I invite you to watch the 14 other videos in the series. Love and Light. Michel

[UniversalTruths]

Pranayama is breathing. I believe it taught enough for a basic practice.

[marcelb666]

yes she is beautiful and wonderful body as well

[mystictouch9]

@veda108 This is why many religions over many hundreds of years, have developed a system of "covering" the women with cloth. Covering their "hips",their "breast",even their "face" in some religions.The reason is, women can be very tempting, and just like the top rated poster, commented less on the "Pranayama" and more on the sexual beauty.There is nothing wrong with sexuality, but when it controls you, then there is no Yama. Prana means Energy and Yama means Control. PRANAYAMA, is self control!

[immayhem]

@mystictouch9

nice way to project.

perhaps it might be more productive for you to mind your own business, than to try and justify contempt for beauty.

[1952YOU1320TUBE1952]

@a68593

It take's an really ugly and unhappy person to make such a comment.

I hope you lose your demon's.

I wish you well.

[paulj0557]

Ditto PoisonIvy407, you are so very relaxed and I can assure you that your energy comes through very clear. I'm a carpet cleaner by trade and although the products I generally use to clean with are safe, there was a week or so that I used a particular solvent based product and it must have affected my lungs a little. I didn't notice at first, but a week or so later my breathing became a little more labored and I could hear myself. Could I benefit from your exercises? I'm sure it will pass soon.

[ashleysworld2000]

Thank you.

[MrYogaFreak]

shes hot...

[TheMorpheusbrasil]

Hello dear friend, I've found you today and subscribe. Thank you. I wish to ask you, I am studying the gnosis and I have learned that we must save our sexual energy (without orgasm) and then transmutate into spiritual energy. Those who are single (like me) can do it with pranayama. (there are an documentary called "Sex the secret gate to Eden" wich I have studied in last gnosis class). (cont)

[TheMorpheusbrasil]

(cont) I wish to take it very seriously, I've strong will, I am 6 days already without any kind of sexual activity and now I wish to start pranayama exercises. But I never before practice yoga. Is this series of videos indicated for me? (transmutate sexual energy into spiritual energy, in order to awake and energize the kundalini?) Thank you very much, please answer me, Namaste! (end)

[ccinri]

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!! Much love to you

[gsaint77]

love this info

[veda108]

dam, this chick hott! soo sexy

[PoisonIvy407]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I admire your professional and relaxed soft spoken mannerism. I am a very hyper person and your videos are helping me become a more relaxed person. Thank you again.

[fr33za33]

[luisframirez2]

[jnj555]

[kelly123456781]

[coolselvan]

thank u

[MrBlobby360]

well said

[HylianSpirit]

You couldn't handle Tantric sex, little man. You'd be out of commission for weeks.

[melusantos]

can you suggest me a yoga practice that would help heal epileptic patients...thank you so much...

[iagiahs]

sahajayoga org

[1000creation]

try EFT. you can search on you tube for it. I think it will help you.

[Luegner]

Uh, this tells me what pranayama does and how to sit, but not what pranayama is.

[skipperroxs]

Pranayama is simply yogic breathing techniques. It's part of Hatha yoga and other traditions of yoga, too.

[carachristin]

see 3:33 to 5:59

[roxasnriku1]

this was so helpful! thank you!

[samanthms123]

Ahhhh !!! :) ur Voice is sooo soothing ....

[MIDNAq1LINK]

Few things:

I heard this can help heal asthma (a bit)

I think sitting against a wall with a cushion under your butt might be a good position, Namaste

[Maksab1]

Yes , I enjoyed.

And helpfull

[thehollowband]

Your voice and accent is very pleasant. =)

[GaryKoji]

Thanks for this!

[decoded0101]

[kewlsoccergal]

[mortiisera2]

[dn1074]

Do you what is Sarvangasna? Thanks.

[jdt3000]

I find this ladies voice so relaxing... I'm almost half asleep!

[Escapecapitalism]

Strong women are beautiful.

[Paulkersey718]

Pranayama done without supervision has the potential to fuck you up really bad. It is never to be done without supervision.

How so?

[urtalkingshit]

why is it dangerous?

[theoclady33]

It is dangerous because there are systems of breathing that bring on physical and sometimes spiritual experiences that once unleashed could create problems of both a physical and/or mental nature. It is said that the if the KUNDALINI is awakened before acheiving certain disciplines in life, one could even go crazy. I, for one, unleashed a touch of that power several years ago and it scared me - so much so that I tore up the instructions so that no one would stumble across them.

[NFah43Bk]

its so true.. but i guess you should not give up but try it with devotion to the lord. almighty.

[theoclady33]

That is exactly what I have been doing and now I am more secure in my walk. Thank you for your comment.

[satchitananda24]

whatever u just said about the kundalini happened to me, not because of pranayama b/c of using binaural beats. I did go crazy for a while. It seemed like like there was an energy blockade that cut me off from my thoughts and emotions but i'm slowly recovering now.

Pranayama i think is the BEST way to start moving towards sprituality.

[satchitananda24]

btw, thx 4 mentioning that.

[FieldsofYaru]

she clarified many points well with good articulation and all her words were vital. i finally learned the 'why' of many of the positions and about breathing better. i was not clear on it before. thank you. namaste

[dbadmus]

You know what, I've always heard that warning before. And to tell you the truth I'm always like wtf? Its breathing what harm can it cause.

But on reading your comment my attitude about it has changed. I'm gonna take it very seriously.

P.S I'll message you later to get more info. Thanks.

[redtortoise76]

If you want solid proof from a couple of respectable sources you can read Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar and Hatha Yoga Manual by Yogeshwar.

Pretty much any genuine Yoga teacher will warn you of the severe dangers of doing pranayama without adequate supervision.

And no it's not something that you would ever do naturally, the breathing is quite modified. Done wrong or in excess, without the prerequisites etc they say it can unhinge the mind or destroy your nervous system.

[LuciferSensui]

"great video but she never went into any breathing techniques."

That's because it's an "introduction". ^_^

[dbadmus]

So wheres the follow up? She claims in this video "simple techniques to bring fullness to your breath"

Um No it hasn't she's only shown us how to set up.

[billymisfits]

great video but she never went into any breathing techniques.

[SaileelaMangu]

WONDERFUL! Thanks a ton, may god bless you always

[piefrance]
