Although abdominal breathing is more natural, intentional chest breathing can help you release tension and stuffy feeling from your chest, neck and shoulders.
Lie down comfortably on your back, legs shoulder width apart, arms 45 degress from your torso. Expand your chest as you inhale, bring your chest down as you exhale slowly with slightly open mouth. Visualize your stagnant enegy is leaving through your finger tips even toe tips… Ask your local Dahn Yoga center instructor for more details.

Dahn Yoga Tip 1

One of the most simple and effective concepts in Dahn Yoga is the idea of "breath." All living beings breathe. It is necessary for survival on this planet. However, it is taken for granted by most people. Few people pay attention to their breathing. But the quality of the breath has great implications for the health of our mind and body.

Whether people pay attention to their breath or choose to ignore it, they will continue to inhale and exhale. Through the experiential understanding of the breath achieved in Dahn training, the connection between mind-body communication and breath becomes more apparent

Dahn Yoga Tip 2

Breath also dramatically demonstrates the interconnectedness between people. The air and energy that one person breathes in is also the same air and energy other people have just breathed in and out. Awareness that everyone shares the same air cultivates the understanding that all living things are interconnected, not only through the breath but on many levels. Ultimately, this understanding helps develop more caring, open-hearted individuals and in turn creates a more harmonious world.
