And then all these various forms started springing up.

So you have all these forms of Nyasa.

You're up and down like a yo-yo.

yin yoga you talk about yin and yang it's very passive do you know does that mean there's a yang yoga well yang is just the active part so if you're doing vinyasa and you're up and down that's quite yang energy do you know what i mean like yin and yang like you relax sometimes and then you run sub 20 minute 5k's other times so it's kind of like balancing those things so within yoga there's active yoga if you're quite an energetic person but then if you're kind of like always on the go you just need to relax you're better off doing the yin stuff

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah See what I got the name Rambler Because I used to be the tour guide So my guys called me Mindful Rambler But I can tend to ramble as well So I think we were about to start a breathing technique And I start going into the 2000 year history of yoga So right What we're going to do in this breathing technique Plana Yama Right Plana means breath But also means life force And Yama just means control Use of open breathing since the day you're born Right

Yeah, if you stop breathing, you're gone.

The last thing you'll do in this realm is an exhalation.

And the first thing you do in your body is an inhalation.

So no one needs to tell you to breathe.

You're just going to do it.

But when you breathe consciously, you can induce states.

That means if you're having a bit of a panic attack, you can relax with a breath.

And then if you're a bit tired and you want to gee up, you can gee yourself up with a breath.

So maybe the way we can do it, if for anyone that's listening, if they have a bit of anxiety or they're anxious and stuff, it's better to do kind of controlled breathing.

So we say that you sit up in yoga or when you're doing breathing, you don't have to force it.

But the reason being, if you're slouching, you're crushing your lungs, you can't get the air in, you know.

And nose is preferable for most techniques, but mouth breathing works sometimes as well, especially if your nose is blocked, you know.

But all we're going to do, first thing is and foremost, if people sit up and just close their eyes and just,

take a notice or take note of where they're at right now and the head might be going fast it might be going slow you put one hand on your heart and then you just take a deep breath in through your nose all the way to your belly for four hold it for a second and then slow out the mouth for six
