The 3-Part Breath and Ujjayi Breathing
Our breathing is a natural place to begin when learning how to activate and strengthen the core. Our breath affects how much tension we hold in our bodies, how calm or active our nervous system is and how we use the power that is within us. In this class, the first of a series of three on core stability, David teaches you two breathing techniques that you may use in all of your future classes. The second class in this series is Integrating the Breath and the Bandhas and the third class is Finding Stability In All Poses. You can also find all three together in our program Establish Your Core Stability and Strength and on our Yoga for Beginners page.

I have done breathing for years but still find it a struggle -filling with breath automatically makes me tighten muscles trying to expand the breath, and I can't relax them. Do you have any mental tricks to help?
can I close the gap with yoga?
Thank you so much for this wonderful site! You are the best teacher for me. Your calming voice and precision - I love it :) Namaste
Excellent! Thank you! I learned three part breath 20 years ago but this goes through it so much more thoroughly! I am starting over my yoga practice anew with your series and am so grateful for it!
