Always heard of the fact that one should breathe from nostrils only while doing asanas and that it's super important. 🤔👃🧘‍♀️ Wonder why? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ 1. Our nose 👃 acts like a filter. 🧹 It traps dust 🌫️, allergens 🤧, and other unwanted stuff in the air, keeping our lungs 🫁 clean and healthy. When we breathe through our mouth 👄, we skip this important step. ❌ 2. The air we breathe is often dry and cold. ❄️🌬️ Breathing through our nose warms 🔥 and moistens the air 💧 before it reaches our lungs, making it easier for our body to use. 👍 3. Nose breathing naturally slows down your breath. 🧘‍♀️ This helps us relax 😌 and focus 🧘‍♂️, which is important for a good yoga practice. Deep, slow breaths also deliver more oxygen 💨 to our body and can help lower the heart rate. ❤️📉 4. Nose breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and relaxation. 😴 This can help reduce stress and anxiety. 😌 5. Pranayama, or yogic breathing exercises, are often done with nose breathing. This is because it allows for better control of the breath 🌬️ and helps us connect with our body's energy. ✨ 6. Nose breathing can improve our focus and concentration, helping us stay present in the moment during our yoga practice. 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️ 7. Breathing through our mouth can dry out our mouth and throat, leading to discomfort and making it harder to practice. 🌵👅 So, next time you're on the mat, remember to breathe in and out through your nose 👃 and enjoy all the benefits it brings! 🙏
