An actual Yoga expert explains another proper Yoga expert's aphorism on why it is important to have some sort of mastery of asana prior to attempting pranyama. To put it another way, do we run before we can even crawl? From my own observations over 20 years or so, it's clear that many people are struggling to breathe in a natural and relaxed way (mouth open, chest and belly tight..), but yet, advanced forms of pranyama, completely misunderstood, - and that could even be dangerous - are gaining momentum before the work has been done. Read carefully (and your own research). Actual Yoga requires dedication, practise and patience over many years. It's a journey. Right now there are very few experts - but you can definitely trust these two! #patanjali #bksiyengar #lightonyoga #whatyogais https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dT-6Ogxbx/?igshid=ggvbozc0ixug
