Breathing Affects Your Whole Body
Breathing is much more than an exchange of oxygen. The way we breathe influences the entire body, including posture and movement, nervous-system regulation, lymphatic flow and drainage, circulation, digestion and elimination, brain function and health, hormonal processes, mood, energy, and overall well-being.
Our breathing habits can also influence how we hold and move our bodies, affecting our appearance, comfort, posture, mobility, and the long-term health of our joints.
Change Your Breath, Change Your Posture
You breathe thousands of times every day, making your breathing patterns some of the most frequently repeated movements in your body. YogAlign® and FitAlign® teach you how to use those movements consciously to support better posture, core strength, relaxation, and whole-body awareness.
Use these breathing exercises regularly to help develop and maintain naturally aligned posture throughout your life and give yourself simple tools you can return to whenever your body needs a tune-up.
