      Basic Yoga for Improving Flexibility - Aventuras De Viaje

      BREATHING

      There are a few different types of breathing methods in yoga, but we only use two basic ones for all the routines in this book.

      Three-Part Breath

      This is the breath you will use most often when practicing yoga. Use it while doing the sequences in this book. When first learning it, you will probably want to do it from a sitting or lying position.

      Breathe in long and deep through your nose. First, feel the breath enter your lower belly, then your lower chest/rib cage, and finally your lower throat/the top of your sternum. Feel the clear, positive energies of love and happiness come up from your toes to you head.

      When you’re ready, exhale fully through your nose, feeling the breath leave in the opposite order from the one it came in—first from your sternum, then your chest, and finally your belly. Release all tension and negative energies out of your body, from your head to your toes.

      Continue to breathe in and out like this, smoothly and continuously.

      When you first start to practice this type of breathing, it may help to put your hands on each of the three areas—your belly, chest, and sternum—as you do it. You can also try just breathing into each area on its own.

      Alternate-Nostril Breathing

      Alternate-nostril breathing is a quick and easy way to calm your nervous system and raise your happiness. It also helps clear congestion.

      Sit tall and comfortably.

      Curl the middle and index fingers of your right hand down into your palm.

      Press your right ring finger on your left nostril to close it and breathe in to the count of four.

      Now use your thumb to close off your right nostril so both your nostrils are closed. Count to four.

      Release your ring finger and breathe out through your left nostril to the count of four.

      Repeat this same sequence, but now breathe in through your right nostril.

      Continue this alternation for three to five minutes.

      YOGA NIDRA

      Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation which has many health benefits. You can guide yourself, but the easiest way to do it is to listen to a Yoga Nidra practice and do what the instructor says.

      For best results, find a place that isn’t too hot or too cold, where your body can be comfortable and you can practice undisturbed. Put on some soothing background music if you want.

      It is best not to do Yoga Nidra in bed, because you will be more likely to fall asleep. A yoga mat on the floor is ideal.

      Yoga Nidra is a conscious practice.

      Lie in Corpse Pose

      Corpse pose, a.k.a. Shavasana, is a yoga pose used at the end of almost every yoga practice. Going straight from your yoga practice to Yoga Nidra is ideal and is (in my opinion) most likely the intention of the ones who created it.

      Yoga Nidra can also be done from a seated position if lying down is inappropriate.

      Close your eyes.

      Corpse pose is explained in detail in the Poses section of this book.

      Notice Your Breath

      Notice your breathing. Feel your lungs filling with air, and your stomach expanding, and then deflating. Imagine a light around your body expanding and contracting as you breathe in and out. Feel the energy coursing through your body.

      Use Your Senses

      Notice each of your senses individually.

      What sounds do you hear? Near, far, inside, outside.

      What smells can you smell? Take small sniffs, like a
