    E37. Practical Exercises to Improve Your Breathing
    Apr 29 2023
    Today, Eli and Inga wrap up their four-week discussion on the breath and its importance in yoga and general health.

    They discuss some of the key takeaways from the previous episodes, including the fact that taking deep breaths is not necessarily better and that carbon dioxide is crucial to the effective use of oxygen in the body.

    They also emphasize the importance of holding one's breath and explain why it's a technique that should be practiced more often.

    Inga leads listeners through a practical exercise to measure their sensitivity to carbon dioxide buildup, and they discuss how this can be used to increase one's tolerance to carbon dioxide and improve physical and mental health.

    Overall, the episode aims to help listeners achieve a better and healthier life through a better understanding of the yogic perspective on breathing.

    E35. Inhale Less, Exhale More
    Apr 15 2023
    In this episode of The Decoding Yoga, Eli continues her discussion with Inga about the topic of breath in yoga. They discuss the misconception that big, heavy breathing is healthy, when in reality it can be correlated with health issues such as asthma, heart disease, anxiety, and panic attacks.

    In contrast, healthy breathing is subtle, inaudible, and always through the nose. Inga explains the benefits of breathing into a bag during a panic attack rather than taking a deep breath in and sighing it out.

    You will learn about the importance of healthy breathing and the negative effects of big breathing, and gain insight into how to breathe properly for optimal health.
