- Sat nam, Yogi, welcome to this channel.
My name is Mariya Gancheva
and this is our breath series,
which is a program of 100 days.
If you haven't done so,
please make sure that you subscribe to our channel
and hit the bell button
to be notified any time we release a new video.
Let's practice.
Today we're doing a breath,
which is called vasistha pranayama.
This is basically the sipping breath.
So instead of (Mariya inhaling) the smooth inhale
and exhale that we just do without thinking,
we are gonna sip it like a delicious elixir
through the mouth, and then we're gonna exhale
through the nose.
So we're gonna do one type of breath.
Obviously that links quite nicely
with the different segments of segmented breaths
that you should have probably seen so far.
And if you haven't, please go to the lecture section
and watch the segmented breath one
to learn the difference of different ratios
and how that affects you.
So now we're gonna do eight sipping breaths
and then exhale in one go.
And let's see how that makes us feel.
Coming in in easy pose.
You can sit on a chair, whatever you feel comfortable.
And you're gonna slightly open the mouth to sip the air in.
And we're gonna begin.
(Mariya inhaling)
Hold.
And exhale through the nose.
(Mariya exhaling)
So we're gonna again sip for one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Hold.
And exhale through the nose.
(Mariya exhaling)
Just keeping doing this, sipping the air for eight.
(Mariya inhaling)
And exhale through the nose.
(Mariya exhaling)
(Mariya inhaling)
(Mariya exhaling)
(tranquil music)
And inhale.
(Mariya inhaling)
And relax.
Well done.
Hope you're finding the different breaths
having the different effects,
and really making a note, mental note how that feels.
You can even start a diary
and kind of start writing down
how you feel and how each breath makes you react
to different circumstances,
when you're more relaxed, when you're more excited,
when you have more energy, when you're calmer.
That could be something,
first, a good way of remembering all the different breaths
that had an effect on you
but also, when you write it down so it sinks it.
So it's more difficult to forget.
Now, we're gonna be using this type of breath quite often
as well through Kundalini yoga.
We often sip the air in and out,
so you will practice it as we go.
But just a side note, if you want to start a diary,
that would be a good point to do so.
Thank you so much for practicing with me today.
