Yoga breathing exercises adjust emotions

Even yoga breathing exercises alone can calm you down. The role of yoga is gradually emerging. The more you practice, the more you will gain from it. If you set aside a certain amount of time to practice yoga every day, you will quickly find that the negative emotions that used to weigh down you are getting farther and farther away.

When doing the following yoga exercises, pay attention to maintaining a deep and even breathing-but don't let the inhale take longer than the exhale. This deep, slow, conscious breathing will give you a feeling of tranquility and confidence. Maintain 5-10 deep breaths in each position, or for as long as you feel comfortable.
