Return to the Breath: a yogic statement.
"Breathing is Mandatory." Have any of you ever heard me say this?
I hear myself telling my clients this often. Well, it was confirmed again in my favorite book this month: Yoga Anatomy: Your illustrated guide to postures, movements, and breathing techniques by Leslie Kaminoff. (Click on the link and scroll down the products page to order the book).
Leslie reminds us that "breathing is movement", which involves three diaphragms (pelvic, respiratory, and vocal) that come together in yoga movements plus the ujjayi (ocean) breath which protects the spine during movement!
"If yoga practice leads you more integrated, balanced breathing, it's because it trains your body to freely respond to the demands that you place upon it in the various positions and activities that make up your daily life" (p.16)
Sounds just like postural control for activities of daily living (ADL's) in physical therapy...doesn't it? Just breathe.
