When I am in downward facing dog, I get stuffed up very quickly and find it hard to breath the way I should. Got any advice? Thanks in advance Layne xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi Layne This could have to do more with your diet and eating habits. They say you should not eat anything up to 4 hours prior to practice. And when beginning practice, if you drink water it should be a very moderate amount, like a gulp of water if you're thirsty. Maybe you could do some reading on diet recommended for yogis. The books by Dr. Gabriel Coussens MD, such as "Concious Eating", offer good advice. You can visit his web site, www.treeoflife.nu. A vegetarian diet helps. Limiting the consumption in your diet of foods that cause mucous helps also, such as breads, pasta and dairy. Hope that helps.
