Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a specific breathing pattern that should be done when sitting in easy pose and rotating the pelvis and lower abodmen and spine, clockwise then counterclockwise (e.g. inhale fwd, exhale back or some other). The yoga manuals I have don't specify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sat nam Usually, it is inhaling left, exhale center, inhale right, exhale center, etc. Sometimes, inhale left, exhale right.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes, you inhale forward and exhale back. You're right!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Most of the older teachers who teach this exercise, which used to be called 'grinder' but is now called 'sufi grind', give no instruction for the breathing. That's how I was taught and that's how I teach it. I think it's important not to apply the 'inhale left, exhale right' instruction everywhere you can because letting the breath be natural is also an instruction, even if it is communicated by no instruction at all.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 SatnamMy experience/practice in teaching this for some years is to inhale back and exhale forward. Though I find myself also giving the option now of encouraging students to breathe as deeply as possible, so there might be two or three complete rotations and only one breath taken in and out. I find the more deeply I breathe during my KY practice (sadhana,) the more deeply I relax and might focus inside.
