Letter of 8/7/2020 Yoga notes about Breathing
8/7/20
Yoga friends,
I hope this finds you well. I just finished reading Breath: The New Science of a A Lost Art by James Nestor. I would highly recommend it. Even if you aren’t a total breathing/anatomy/yoga geek like me. It is very read- able. I am not sure if the library has it. But I did see that is available as an audio book and he reads it.
We are going to add some of these breathing practices to our yoga classes.
Here is a short video of how to clear your nose. Very interesting. I would love to know what you think. So, please give it a try! I am going to try to teach it at the beginning of class for a few weeks.
Decongest the nose breathing practice video. https://youtu.be/cU4ls5ku4Rg

And one more interesting thing. If you have ever wondered about how hip replacement works (or even just how the hip works). Here its a really cool video all done with play dough. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3231563026881772
Here’s to good Health,
