And, the short, small breaths actually create more anxiety because your brain doesn’t get oxygen. Therefore, yoga allows you to breathe and feel relaxation in every part of your being. Your mind, body, and spirit feel safe, rejuvenated, and become connected to each other through guided breathing. By learning yoga breathing skills, you’re creating a place of inner peace and inner wisdom no matter what happens in your life.
