Qualities of breath: deep, long, smooth and rhythmic, like an ocean wave
Equal inhale and exhale
Exploring breath pattern
Inhale pause exhale pause
Breathing rhytmically

"If we know how to breathe correctly, it can be a powerful tool to help us manage mind, emotions, and imbalances in the body."
Hrrr
I know this is a best practices which help to overcome with our anxiety and all types of our life problems.
I'm asthmatic and I saw an immediate change after doing these exercises. My breathing is much easier and I'm not wheezing anymore. This is incredible
Really??
👌I follow this practice for two months now, I love the difference in my life, my body, my spirit 💜
Very good demo. This is authentic. Avoid many fake yoga instructors. She is genuine. If someone starts you off with postures/exercises , something's not right. Good yoga starts from slow, deep relaxed breathing. Later on, postures/asanas come in. Thank you.
Wish there was no advertisement on this video, it really throws the entire practice off. Other than that, thank you for a great practice.

@@BeyondTheMind007 how do u do that . I want to please
You are a very good instructor. Your instructions are crisp and clear. Watching you and listening to you itself relaxed me.
Thank you for this. I have bad anxiety and asthma and am always looking for ways to breathe easier and strengthen my lungs
Have searched many videos for simpler instructions.. and Here I stop. She is well articulated and so paced out making it easy to follow. Gives a vibe. Good job and thank you AJ 🌸🌸🙏🙏🙏🙏🌸🌸
Loop loop bi and I
The Divinity on the face of AJ is very evident. I felt this is the only method of Pranayam which really soothes you n connects to the higher self.
3:00 starts the exercise
You will miss important introduction.
@Russell Philippe L. de Peralta Pizza is bad if you eat everyday.
@Annie Topaz Yes :) but we grew habit of skipping.We are becoming impatient,we want quick results which contradicts the motive of the video.Here we are learning peace and patience and skipping is not sign of patience :-) don't take serious it's just my opinion.
Came here trying to find a free instructional and educational video on pranayam. Thank you for making your video free unlike some blogs which will only allow you to watch a video (on such simple and basic natural breathing) if you pay for it!
The best explanation and method for beginners. The best part is she allows you to find your own rythm and pace, then work on it. Excellent. Thank you so much.
Excellent amazing very useful video welcome my best wishes for ever
Dear AJ, I stumbled upon your videos a couple days ago and I instantly embarked in the exercises. Your videos are excellent and I have put off practicing breathing for months possibly years but, maybe i'm just ready now, but your work really engages me so easily! It's just so easy to follow, relaxing, informative, at a perfect pace. I really love it and will look for more. Keep up the good work and many thanks!
Thank you! Such a wonderful explanation. I feel like you taught me the technique quickly and simply where I can adapt it to my needs in the future versus a guided session where I would need to come back each time I wanted to do the pranayama.
Where have you been all my life! I woke up early morning everyday but never completed a full video ever as I got distracted each time. Your video instantly caught my attention, calmed me down, held my focus and made me follow it through. A big thank you and I'm your new subscriber! Thank you Maam AJ!
My first experience of pranayama - excellent video which explains every step so clearly and simply. Looking forward to viewing and experiencing the rest of the series
Your videos are my go-to each morning to help me and my daughter start our day... it is relaxing and helps keep our body and mind in balance... it has helped me calm down... and slow down. We have started with the breathing exercises and surya namaskar...
Yoga is so soothing and I love it more when you give such lovely briefing. But when it comes to all those twisting and swirling it makes me feel so dejected. I can’t expect to so much at 70 with so many health limitations. In spite of it I have always looked forward to some doable yoga poses and you have taken me one step ahead. Please help us seniors citizens with more mindful and easy exercises to enjoy yoga as it is meant to be - for the young and don’t forget the old. Thanks a lot for your wonderful work!
Wow AJ’s you’re really an incredible teacher. Love how you broke it down so perfectly step by step so that it is fully understood. Keep it up, it is rare to find a teacher so efficient!
I did it along with you and it was so good!
It’s so refreshing to learn from a teacher from India and a woman at that!
It’s nice to learn traditional yoga breathing.
This was great and exactly what I needed this morning. Clear, calm and gentle. Thank you

correct rate /ratio or timed breathing is very important for pranayam
constant rate of breathing helps to improve all body metabolism for this the above videos are very good
प्राणायाम के लिए सही दर / अनुपात या समयबद्ध श्वास बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है
सांस लेने की निरंतर दर शरीर के सभी चयापचय को बेहतर बनाने में मदद करती है इसके लिए उपरोक्त वीडियो बहुत अच्छे हैं
Loved the entire video and how beautifully you have explained each step.
My physical therapist recommended this type of breathing to help my back pain. Thank you so much for such a wonderful explanation of how to do it properly!
I finished day 13 and I'm going to start over. AJ you are a great teacher and I am feeling awesome.
Wonderful Delivery!
Be iduk guidance with such tenderness.
Love the Wide Eyed Owls!!!
Namaskar

Proud to be an Indian......

Indeed, just breathing can be such a luxury at times.
Thank you so much, i have done this twice and i feel so relaxed.
Deep breathing is good. Just breathing is not enough. Breathe sweetly. Happy breathing.
I just did this and feeling relaxed. Thanks for sharing. Your explanation was wonderful. I really enjoyed doing this.
Very well explained!!Thanks a lot..
These breathing exercises have immensely helped me understand my breath and also the difference between the unconscious and conscious mind. I've made it a routine to follow all the breathing exercises by AJ after my walking workout and beginner's yoga by AJ. Thank you for such lovely explanations of all the breathing exercises Aparajita!
I'm doing four stage breathing, inhale, retention, exhale,hold...in 1:2:1:1

This is best instructions and correct guide. Mam please put more videos.
some nice pranayama exercises, from a Hindu Yogi...
Breathing Exercises
by Sri Chinmoy
1. Breathing into the heart centre
Please breathe in and hold your breath for a couple of seconds, and feel that you are holding the breath, which is life-energy, in your heart centre. This will help you to develop your inner meditation capacity.
2. Becoming aware of the breath
When you sit down to meditate, try to breathe in as slowly and quietly as possible, so that if somebody placed a tiny thread in front of your nose it would not move at all. And when you breathe out, try to breathe out even more slowly than you breathed in. If possible, leave a short pause between the end of your exhalation and the beginning of your inhalation. If you can, hold your breath for a few seconds. But if that is difficult, do not do it. Never do anything that will make you physically uncomfortable during meditation.
3 Breathing in peace and joy
The first thing that you have to think of when practising breathing techniques is purity. When you breathe in, if you can feel that the breath is coming directly from God, from Purity itself, then your breath can easily be purified. Then, each time you breathe in, try to feel that you are bringing infinite peace into your body. The opposite of peace is restlessness. When you breathe out, try to feel that you are expelling the restlessness within you and also the restlessness that you see all around you. When you breathe this way, you will find restlessness leaving you. After practising this a few times, please try to feel that you are breathing in power from the universe, and when you exhale, feel that all your fear is coming out of your body. After doing this a few times, try to feel that you are breathing in infinite joy and breathing out sorrow, suffering and melancholy.
4. Cosmic energy
Feel that you are breathing in not air but cosmic energy. Feel that tremendous cosmic energy is entering into you with each breath, and that you are going to use it to purify your body, vital, mind and heart. Feel that there is not a single place in your being that is not being occupied by the flow of cosmic energy. It is flowing like a river inside you, washing and purifying your entire being. Then, when you breathe out, feel that you are breathing out all the rubbish inside you-all your undivine thoughts, obscure ideas and impure actions. Anything inside your system that you call undivine, anything that you do not want to claim as your own, feel that you are exhaling.
This is not the traditional yogic pranayama, which is more complicated and systematised, but it is a most effective spiritual method of breathing. If you practise this method of breathing, you will soon see the results. In the beginning you will have to use your imagination, but after a while you will see and feel that it is not imagination at all but reality. You are consciously breathing in the energy which is flowing all around you, purifying yourself and emptying yourself of everything undivine. If you can breathe this way for five minutes every day, you will be able to make very fast progress. But it has to be done in a very conscious way, not mechanically.
5. Total breathing
When you reach a more advanced stage, you can try to feel that your breath is coming in and going out through every part of your body-through your heart, through your eyes, through your nose and even through your pores. Right now you can breathe only through your nose or your mouth, but a time will come when you will be able to breathe through every part of your body. Spiritual Masters can breathe even with their nose and mouth closed. When you have perfected this spiritual breathing, all your impurity and ignorance will be replaced by God's light, peace and power.
6. One-four-two breathing
As you breathe in, repeat once the name of God, the Christ or whomever you adore. Or, if your Master has given you a mantra, you can repeat that. This breath does not have to be long or deep. Then hold your breath and repeat the same name four times. And when you breathe out, repeat two times the name or mantra that you have chosen. You inhale for one count, hold your breath for four counts and exhale for two counts, inwardly repeating the sacred word. If you simply count the numbers-one-four-two-you do not get any vibration or inner feeling. But when you say the name of God, immediately God's divine qualities enter into you. Then, when you hold your breath, these divine qualities rotate inside you, entering into all your impurities, obscurities, imperfections and limitations. And when you breathe out, these same divine qualities carry away all your undivine, unprogressive and destructive qualities.
In the beginning you can start with a one-four-two count. When you become experienced in this breathing exercise, you will be able to do it to a count of four-sixteen-eight: breathing in for four counts, holding the breath for sixteen, and breathing out for eight. But this has to be done very gradually. Some people do an eight-thirty-two-sixteen count, but this is for the experts.
7. Alternate breathing
Another technique you can try is alternate breathing. This is done by pressing the right nostril closed with the thumb and taking in a long breath through the left nostril. As you breathe in, repeat God's name once. Then hold your breath for four counts repeating God's name four times. And finally release your right nostril, press your left nostril closed with your fourth finger and release your breath to the count of two-that is, two repetitions of God's name. Then do it the opposite way. starting with the left nostril pressed closed. In this system, when you breathe in, it does not have to be done quietly. Even if you make noise, no harm. But of course, these exercises should not be done in public or where other people are trying to meditate in silence.
You should not practise one-four-two breathing for more than four or five minutes, and you should not do alternate breathing more than a few times. If you do it twenty or forty or fifty times, heat will rise from the base of your spine and enter into your head, creating tension and a headache. It is like eating too much." Eating is good, but if you eat voraciously, it will upset your stomach. This inner heat acts the same way. If you draw it up beyond your capacity, then instead of giving you a peaceful mind, it will give you an arrogant, turbulent and destructive mind. Later, when you have developed your inner capacity, you can do this alternates breathing for ten or fifteen minutes.

I had a very relaxing and comforting experience. Thank you for being so kind and gentle while guiding! It was very welcoming 💙🦋
Good detailed explanation 👍. Good for beginners. Thanks a lot.
Most excellent instruction. Very well done, thank you very much.
That is fantastic, my first pranayam. I love it, very relaxing, mind calming, shame I didn't try before... this is a life changer :) thank you!
Agnieszka Piorkowska oh is it really does it help u overcome depression
Unknown 80 looking into the core philosophies of bhuddism and taoism would be more bennificial in helping with all emotional destress, such as anxiety and depression, temperment issues etc. once you learn the backbone philosophies you can contemplate them through mindfulness meditation and breathing exersices such as this one. It will definately help cease your minds inner chit chat
Its not nice
Each moment counts. Observe breathing to concentrate. I know this simple technique to meditate. Related to breathing.
Felt really great ..... nicely taught
Great teaching, complete helpful to me
Excellent instuctions. Thankyou!
Hi AJ, I am very grateful I chose your video to learn Pranayam. Would like to say a big thanks to you for changing my life, by mentioning the words "Life Force Energy" it encourages me to do it regularly and also I am doing conscious breathing which is helping me keeping calm all day. Many Thanks. God Bless you.
Saw this video only this morning. Followed this after my walking workout. Very well explained and simply awesome.

Very nice. Simplified instructions shows how good you are yourself.
Thank you for your video. Simple yet includes vital instructions including mindfulness. I have been doing breathing exercise for a little while but was missing some components. Very helpful.
Hello, beautiful teaching method you have here! I know it's not about the views but the lessons, but you deserve a million in my book! 😊🙏😊
Excellent video with good explanation. Very much useful during this time for many to start pranayama
very well done! I am a beginner and your video was very easy to understand and to follow. Thank you!
Most Welcome! Stay tuned.
yes
you sound so relaxed and peaceful.
Very lucid and patient, thanks, just a small clarification, is one to pause for the same time before inhalation.
Really Good one for basic
Thank you for explaining breathe work in regards to yoga and awareness in everyday life !!! 🎉✨
I'm doing it from months but u feel there is no much difference. My nature is same. Also the inhale is longer than exhale
Thank you for your existence, this is probably the best video I’ve come across too easily explain and understand and how to do, thank you again
Lot of gurus preach to take breath in chest, in this process chest will expand and stomach will shrink while inhaling. They give reason that lungs have oxygen absorbing capacity so we should breath to lungs/chest.
And lot of other gurus preach to take breath in stomach, in this process stomach will expand while inhaling. They give reason that stomach breath is natural as all new born child do stomach breath so we should also.
And lot of other gurus preach that one should not guide breath, breath itself will find its way so we should not worry about chest breath or stomach breath. They ask to just pay attention to breath.
Which one is correct way of breathing and why?
Breath is always mouth to lung. There is no such thing as "stomach breathing". As a doctor, I can explain that the difference is in the muscles you use to support the diaphragm during the inhalation process. You should always "belly breathe" as it draws the diaphragm and lungs down and allows more air volume than simply shallow "chest breathing". It's more efficient, and creates higher absorption and gas exchange. Also...here's one a LOT of people don't realise...always breathe through your nose unless doing heavy exercise forces you to need greater quantities of exchange, then go in through nose and out through mouth. The reason for this is that the nostrils both filter and humidify air being taken into the lungs, where the mouth won't to as great of a degree. So mouth-breathers are bad for more reasons than you originally thought. I'm new to Yoga, so I'm still learning but I have the medical knowledge to be able to pick out the real stuff from the trendy nonsense. If you don't, it's always good to ask questions of both your yoga instructor AND your doctor.
@@Sarmatae1 Thanks a lot for detailed answer :)
@@zero-by-zero You're very welcome, and Tashi delek :)
It's awesome try to make more videos
Wow you are a brilliant teacher I was surprised I was keeping up with how articulated the lesson was, I have always felt I wasn't capable of relaxing my mind but if you cut yourself some slack and take smaller steps it is much more feasible, Subscribed!
I have heard also for any beginners,
that those binaural beat videos can do more harm than good, stick to real life people know yourself don't let youtube mess with your balance and definitely don't sleep to those other videos.
Best yoga instructor on youtube
Pure and precise teaching. Thank you so much! A great guide 😌🙏
I like the way you teach. Thank you.
It’s been a pleasure following you videos. It’s simply articulated and demonstrated.
One of if not the best yoga teacher I found so far on the internet. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the appreciation. Stay tuned.
Thanks for sharing such an good practice
Aj, thank you for this simple introduction to pranayama. I have just hit the subscribe button. I look forward to practicing with you daily!
Nicely instructed .... had a great time ... also feel better and relaxed 😁👍🏻
Thanks. Very relaxings. Felt awesome
Easy explanation is always good.. For sukha pranayama sit comfortable spine erect take deep breath exhale as much as slow..
Excellent and very helpful
Liked presentation.. 💐💐
1) Inhale exhale to understand the difference between inhale and exhale. 2) 5 breaths equal inhale equal exhale 3) 5 breaths inhale 1 sec pause 5 breaths exhale and finally 4) 5 breaths inhale, 5 breaths retention and 5 breaths exhale. Is that right?
Thank you so much. May Allah bless you. You teach so beautifully in an efficient informative and practical way.
I have breathing problem. I always wants to learn yoga breathing and i hope this will help me...
