The Full Yogic Breath is at the core of yoga practice. When you learn to breath from your deep belly instead of your chest you increase your lung capacity, increase circulation, send more oxygen to the brain and reduce stress and tension quickly and effectively. Duration: 4.5 min

Benefits: reduced tension, increased lung capacity and circulation, improves mental performance and encourages focus

Contraindications: None. This breath is suitable for everyone who requires oxygen.

. Also as spring has approached my sensitivity to pollen and other allergens has dropped way down to where my sneezing and runny nose is about non existent. So if that was all the benefit pranayama gave me it would be worth the effort.

@Halkalooki it is. honestly... you have an amazing lifestyle. I really thought I had some kind of advice for ya... but I think you're fine. Check and see if dr. Sebi has anything to say about allergies.

[Halkalooki]

@Trinivalist Like I posted earlier I have a consistent yoga practice. Also I work outside washing windows climbing ladders, walking roofs, which can be a lot like exercise. As far as diet I quit sugar this year and have been mostly vegan for three years or more. I eat fish and sometimes chicken broth. I feel better when I stay away from heavy meats.No alcohol, no coffee. I incorporate meditation or prayer in with my pranayama. I feel for me it is all one thing.

@Halkalooki breathing is just part of it. What is your diet, meditation, exercise like?

[phirephox9]

I can't inhale for longer than 4 beats at most... am I breathing wrong or is that something you work towards?

[Halkalooki]

@shushanto Yea I am still at it with pranayama. Can't say it clears allergy 100% but it does help a lot, maybe 60% ? Well worth a try if you are plagued with allergy. I got through another winter with no cough or cold! I go to a hatha yoga class twice a week and home practice once or twice a week as well. I live in Seattle, a high pollen and cough cold center it seems! The catch 22 is you gotta practice pranayama every day. It is a MAJOR discipline to keep up, but worth the effort.

[shushanto]

@Halkalooki Really? How long have you been doing this? Do you go to a class for yoga? I have terrible sneezing from pollen all year round, and its worse in the spring/summer time.

The position is called SUKKHASANA...and the bones that support that is a group from the pelvic-cage, called Ischio-pubic ramus on both sides.....

Thank you for posting this video instruction. Very helpful.

What are the benefits of holding the breath during this exercise. I have not seen many, but the others I have seen don't mention about holding the breath.
