How to Do A Simple Hatha Yoga Exercise to Calm Down.
Need to relax? This yoga pranayama exercise can help to reduce tension. If you're studying for a big test, waiting for an interview, feeling uptight in the office, worrying about an audition or you just need to be calm, try this simple technique:
1. Inhale deeply. Count to five. Exhale and relax.
2. Inhale a second time. Breathe in a third of your lung capacity. Expand your abdomen so that it blows up like a balloon. Exhale and relax.
3. Inhale a third time. Breathe in two-thirds of your lung capacity. Expand your ribs and abdomen. Exhale and relax.
4. Inhale a fourth time. Breathe in your full lung capacity. Expand your ribs and abdomen. Elevate your shoulders towards your ears. Exhale and relax.
5. Repeat. Continue with this technique until calm.
• Pranayama Yoga is mainly involved with breathing and relaxation.
• Find a quiet place without distraction. Excuse yourself to do this exercise in a bathroom, if needed.
• Don't worry!
