leveraging the ujjayi breath helps
1/ provide stability for you to transition safely & change your drishti
2/ get deeper into backbends, side bends & twists
every time you exhale & pull your navel to your spine - you're engaging your core. engaging your core provides stability so you don't wobble as much. every time you wobble - you risk falling and hurting yourself.
i'm not a psychic, but i would assume that you might prefer to live in a world without pain if i can. so bestie - move on your exhale
every time you inhale - you have the opportunity to find length in your spine. every time you create space between your vertebrae - you have the oppt to get deeper into your backbends, side bends, and twists.
not only will you deepen your practice by leveraging your breath, you can prevent injuring your spine. you can get a transplant for basically every body part except your spine, so treat it well. although i learned a lot from my spinal cord injury - i wouldn't recommend it 🤡
💡 Transformative tips:
1/ pull your navel to your spine on your exhale to provide stability when you transition or change your drishti unless specified by your instructor
2/ backbends - inhale lengthen, exhale engage your glutes to deepen
3/ side bends - inhale lengthen & rotate your ribcage toward the sky, exhale engage your obliques
4/ twists - inhale lengthen & reach the crown of your head to the ceiling , exhale engage your obliques
