“Crouching down to leap forward”—a phrase I coined in 2001—was inspired by watching cats wiggle their butts to gain momentum for a leap. This simple observation turned into a meditative tool for me, a way to pause and breathe while navigating life's challenges. As a strategist, both personally and professionally, letting go and relinquishing control isn't always easy. There's a lot of fear in the unknown. But I've found that when I release and remain open to the unknown, surprises emerge. It's a process, but one I've increasingly gotten better at by learning to trust the universe. The more I trust, the more unexpected opportunities find their way to me. Now, simplicity is my goal. True success isn't about reaching an undefined top; it's about finding balance and contentment. I aim to simplify my life, seeking comfort over constant achievement. Practicing yoga for almost 20 years and receiving my YTT certification in 2008 deepened this approach. Incorporating the essence of yoga into daily life—Ujjayi breathing, grounding, being in the moment, and sitting still—enhances this philosophy. These practices foster mindfulness and presence, essential for thoughtful preparation and action. Balancing the act of crouching down to leap forward and pausing to be open, breathing through the fear, and seeing what happens, reveals the beauty of life and the universe's gifts. Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and every setback is a setup for a comeback. This approach helps me navigate, ground, and find deeper perspectives in all facets of life.

Se caracteriza por un suave sonido de “olas” que se genera al pasar el aire por la garganta, creando una sensación de calma y concentración profunda.

He delves into various aspects of breathing, including the traditional ujjayi breath, the role of the diaphragm, and the concept of bandha. The conversation also covers the importance of vinyasa in creating rhythm and awareness in practice, as well as the distinctions between pranayama and modern breath work. Throughout the discussion, Adam emphasizes the need for personal experimentation and understanding in one's yoga journey, particularly regarding breath control and its impact on emotional and physical well-being.    ·        Breath is fundamental to life and spirituality. ·      Ujjayi breath has evolved from a heavier to a lighter practice. ·      The diaphragm is the primary muscle used in breathing. ·      Bandha helps in controlling breath and energy flow. ·      Vinyasa creates a rhythm that mirrors diaphragmatic movements. ·      Pranayama is more about breath control than rhythmic breathing. ·      Breath reflects emotional states and should not be forced into equality. ·      Yoga practice is an individual experiment. ·      Understanding the diaphragm enhances pranayama effectiveness. ·      Breath work can stimulate or calm the nervous system.

Hi Friends! Let's breathe together! Today I offer a practice of ujjayi breath. this is a common breath practice used in a yoga class, but it can be used any time and anywhere. Ujjayi breath can sound like an ocean wave or like Darth Vader breathing through his mask. There are many benefits to this breath that include decreased stress and anxiety, deep relaxation, greater mental focus, greater lung function and improved sleep. Give it a shot and see what you think! And be compassionate with yourself. There is a learning curve here. Do your best and let go of the rest.

D'après plus de 18 études menées sur le sujet, la fréquence cardiaque au repos est un indicateur fiable d'espérance de vie. Plus elle est basse, plus l'individu a de chance de vivre longtemps. Grâce à un entrainement poussé, certains pratiquants de yoga sont capables d'influencer directement le rythme de leur cœur, en le ralentissant jusqu'à l'extrême.Qui contrôle le rythme cardiaque ?La fréquence de battement du cœur est régie par le système nerveux autonome. Comme son nom l'indique, ce centre de régulation fonctionne sans que nous en soyons conscient. Il intervient aussi dans la respiration, la digestion et les réactions au stress.Le SNA est partagé entre le système sympathique, qui induit des réactions de lutte ou de fuite, et le système parasympathique, qui favorise le repos et la digestion. Concrètement, le système sympathique augmente le rythme cardiaque et la pression artérielle tout en libérant du sucre dans le sang. Le système parasympathique freine le rythme cardiaque, abaisse la pression et favorise la récupération.Les pratiques des yogis avancésL'une des bases du yoga concerne les exercices de respiration. Par ce biais, les yogis les plus avancés sont capables d'influencer le système nerveux autonome. Ils activent en fait le système parasympathique, qui réduit la fréquence cardiaque.La science s'est penchée sur l'impact des techniques des yogis, en étudiant leurs conséquences sur les battements du cœur. Les observations font état d'une baisse significative du rythme cardiaque lors de l'usage de techniques de respiration contrôlée par des pratiquants expérimentés. Cette réduction est attribuée à l'amélioration d'un marqueur appelé VFC, pour variabilité de la fréquence cardiaque. Ce marqueur témoigne de la capacité du cœur à se montrer flexible en fonction des demandes physiques ou émotionnelles. Chez les yogis avancés, ce marqueur est élevé et leur permet donc d'influencer considérablement leur fréquence cardiaque au repos.Les techniques les plus efficacesPour ralentir le cœur, le yoga propose plusieurs techniques aux bénéfices complémentaires comme l'apaisement de l'esprit et des émotions. Le pranayama, qui regroupe les techniques de respiration, comprend par exemple une respiration alternée par les narines dite Nadi Shodhana. La respiration victorieuse ou Ujjayi est également efficace pour limiter la fréquence cardiaque et améliorer l'oxygénation.Un autre versant du yoga concerne la méditation. Par la relaxation profonde, le yogi entrainé peut réduire son rythme cardiaque jusqu'à ce que les appareils ne puissent presque plus le détecter. La médiation de pleine conscience et le yoga nidra font partie des techniques largement documentées par la science et réputées pour leurs bienfaits envers le système cardiovasculaire.

Welcome to another episode of our meditation series. I'm Nola Bloom, and today's guided meditation, titled ‘Serenity by the Sea,' is your gateway to the transformative practice of Ujjayi breath. In the vast world of yoga, Ujjayi breath stands as the foundational cornerstone of all classes. It's the rhythmic and intentional breath that unites body, mind, and spirit. Join me on a journey of self-discovery as we explore the profound impact of Ujjayi breath through a combination of practice, visualization, and affirmations. Mastering Ujjayi breath is no small feat, often taking years of dedicated yoga practice. This meditation aims to guide you in deepening your connection with this victorious breath, helping you maintain focus, steadiness, and mindfulness throughout your yoga journey. In the chaos of our minds during dynamic yoga flows, it's easy to lose the rhythm of our breath. This meditation provides a space to cultivate the concentration required for slow, mindful breathing—a crucial skill for any yoga practitioner, especially when facing challenging poses. Derived from Sanskrit, the word "yoga" means ‘union,' and Ujjayi breath plays a pivotal role in fostering a deep connection between your body, mind, and spirit. Often referred to as ‘ocean breathing' due to its rhythmic resemblance to waves, Ujjayi breath becomes a constant anchor, keeping you present in the moment, whether you're holding a challenging pose or navigating the stillness of Yin Yoga. As we delve into the calming effects of Ujjayi breath on the nervous system, you'll discover its power in bringing a sense of tranquility to moments of stress or anxiety. It's not just a breath; it's a tool for cultivating mindfulness—a key to experiencing the true essence of yoga. Before we embark on this meditation, I want to share an exciting opportunity to deepen your yoga practice. My course, "⁠An Embodiment Journey Into The Eight Limbs Of Yoga⁠" is now available on Insight Timer. Ujjayi Breath is intricately linked to Pranayama, the fourth limb of yoga. This course spans eight days, each offering a 30-minute session exploring a different limb of yoga, delving into the ancient philosophy beyond physical postures. For the full course outline, check the link in the description. So, find a comfortable space, settle into your mat, and let's begin our journey to 'Serenity by the Sea' through the transformative practice of Ujjayi breath.

Welcome to Episode 44 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast  where I discuss "The Art of Ashtanga Yoga." In this episode, I take you along my personal journey with Ashtanga Yoga, a practice that's spanned over two decades and continues to teach me every day.We kick off with the fascinating history of Ashtanga Yoga, exploring the lineage from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to T. Krishnamacharya, all the way back to Ramamohana Brahmachari. Their contributions have shaped Ashtanga into the transformative practice we know today.I then delve into the practice and technique of Ashtanga Yoga, painting a vivid picture of the tranquil Mysore sessions, the resonating sound of Ujjayi breath, and the methodical step-by-step learning process. We look at the powerful combination of breath, bandha, and drishti, and the dynamic transitions of jumping back and through. A path as demanding as Ashtanga Yoga is not without its obstacles. I share my struggles with late nights, battling old habits, and maintaining discipline.  But despite these obstacles, I discuss how the Ashtanga community remains interconnected on a global scale, citing examples from AYV, AYB, and AYNY.Next, I share my insights on what full devotion to a practice like Ashtanga feels like. From prioritizing practice first thing in the morning to observing the character-building effects of consistent practice, I delve into the profound impact of such commitment. I speak about the respect and admiration we can have for fellow practitioners, acknowledging their focus and consistency.Finally, I discuss my "Second Study" of Ashtanga Yoga that began on January 1st, 2023. This new chapter has taught me to listen to my body more intently and approach the practice with patience. I talk about the wisdom in accepting changes and adapting my practice as needed, guided by the universe's cues.My journey with Ashtanga Yoga has shown me the power of dedicating oneself completely to a practice you loveEnjoy and Share the episode! To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

What does it mean to have Oceanic Breath? Oceanic breathing is a type of breathing that encourages the passage of prana, or life-force energy, throughout the body. It consists of a long, smooth inhalation followed by a tightening of the muscles in the back of the throat on exhalation. The sound of ocean waves is produced by the contraction of the neck muscles. This breathing method is known by the Sanskrit title ujjayi ("triumphant") breathing and is also known as victorious breath or cobra breath. Anyone can do ocean breathing if they can breathe. It doesn't matter their age, size, or physical limitations; if they can breathe, they can do this activity.

Try 10 minutes of Ocean breathing every day and see what happens! What are the advantages of Oceanic Breath for your health? Oceanic breathing, also known as Ujjayi breathing (pronounced oo-jai) in Sanskrit, has a calming effect on the entire cardiorespiratory and nervous systems. Practicing Ocean breathing helps to relax the mind and body and has a number of advantages: Lungs that are stronger and have more capacity A stronger diaphragm and a healthier heart The ability to heal asthma can be limited at times. It's possible that you'll be able to quit smoking. The nervous system that is tranquil Reduced anxiety Blood pressure and heart rate are both lower. Improved sleep quality An improved mental condition Allows us to recognize and repair old wounds from the past. Safety and Precautions At least 1 hour after eating, practice breathing at any time of day. This breathing pattern may be problematic if you have respiratory problems or a condition like asthma. Make sure you're getting enough oxygen and stop if you start to feel dizzy or lightheaded. During this exercise, you should not experience any pain or shortness of breath. If you're unsure, talk to your doctor. When performing these breathing techniques, it's not uncommon for emotions to surface and tears to flow. When your body opens up and releases old emotions, this is a natural reaction. Allow it to happen if it does; you'll feel better afterward.

Today's meditation is slightly different! I am sharing the meditation preparation that I use before sitting in silent meditation. Sometimes one can sit for another 10 or 20 minutes, other times it is only a couple of minutes but whenever you decide to come out of a silent meditation it is because you feel "complete". There is no right or wrong here! Personally, I think it is difficult to simply sit down and immediately sit in silent meditation! I NEED this preparation. It is like giving the energetic body the sign that now is the moment for quiet, for stillness and for your meditation practice. And it is a PRACTICE! All things (from riding a bicycle, to cooking, to learning any new skill) take practice to master and silent meditation is no different. Giving yourself a routine around your meditation is super important - and this is mine. When we start to practice sitting in a silent meditation the thoughts will inevitably start to come flooding in! Do not berate yourself for this - simply allow and observe. It is always interesting to see where the mind wants to go in these moments but just let the thoughts breeze by. See them come, watch them go...I hope that you find the beautiful peace, and stillness that this very simple breathing exercise brings. It is a simple Ujjayi pranayama breath with a simple and short retention. The magic of this breath is that it switches you over from the Sympathetic Nervous System or stress state to the Parasympathetic Nervous System or "rest and digest" state. This latter state is where we want to spend the majority of our lives! So use this most beautiful and simple technique whenever you need to combat those feelings of stress or anxiety when they arise. As always, I want feedback!! Did you enjoy this episode? It's a bit different to my normal guided meditations and I will get back to those but I wanted to share my meditation preparation practice with you.I share it with so much love...Rosanne xx Hosted on Acast.
