yoga breathing

Meditative breath work

Yoga breathing refers to controlled breathing techniques practiced in yoga, emphasizing deliberate patterns of inhalation, exhalation, and breath retention.

These practices aim to calm the mind, increase energy, or prepare for meditation.

The formal Sanskrit term is pranayama: The instructor led us through five minutes of yoga breathing before the poses began.
