Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I have a new student in my "Recovery" yoga class who has various issues with anxiety and some other mental problems. She said that her therapist recommended yoga because she sighs alot and needs breath work. Anyone have any feedback about why we sigh, and what would be some metaphysical or emotional reasons why someone would start sighing habitually? Thanks so much! SAT NAM!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Ranjit, In a physical sense, sighing is a release of tension in the diaphragm when the body begins to make the transition from the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) to the parasymapathetic (rest and digest/heal). So if students begin sighing and yawning this is good, they are becoming more deeply relaxed. I have a student who yawns constantly (loudly too) through the whole 12 mins of long deep relaxation, and it's her navel tension beginning to release, like easing the cap off of a pop bottle. That's my 2 cents! Sat Nam, Sat Sangeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
