On Day 10 of our 30 day yoga challenge I am going to share with you how to do yoga breathing exercises or pranayama. The benefits of yoga breathing are endless! They help with everything from back pain, anxiety, high blood pressure, headaches, heart disease, chronic pain, hypertension, epilepsy, asthma, panic attacks, coronary heart disease and COPD. Today I am going to show you a couple of  hatha yoga poses to open your body to breath and then we are going to do a short yoga breathing exercise called ¨The Essential Breath¨ by Donna Farhi 
The hatha yoga pose that I am going to show you today is called gate pose or parighasana and it will open up your side body and intercostal muscles so that you can breathe deeply into the lower lobes of your lungs. Following the hatha yoga pose to improve your breathing and help you breathe into your diaphragm, I will show you a breathing exercise called essential breathing to help you to breathe properly.
