How you breathe during a yoga asana practice is important. The appropriate method is called Ujjayi breath, which means “victorious breath” in Sanskrit. How you breathe is every bit as important as how you do the postures. Learning the correct technique will amplify your experience tremendously - neglecting proper breathing in yoga can contribute to tension, fatigue and strain.

In this tutorial, Derek demonstrates some ideal techniques for beginners to yoga and for students who may have experience with the postures, but still need more work on refining their breathing.
