We begin our journey into the world of yoga nidra with this fundamental practice of diaphragmatic breathing. When we have forgotten how to breathe properly, it is difficult to effectively relax. With practice, diaphragmatic breathing improves our nervous system regulation, shifting us out of the fight or flight response, by balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. It improves and heart rate variability, lowers blood pressure and promotes vasodilation. Diaphragmatic breathing also reduces anxiety and promotes healthy sleep, and has been observed to reduce pain perception in people who are dealing with chronic pain.
Your feedback on your experience with this practice is welcome.
