Breathing

09-26-1999, 12:43 AM

Sat Nam,
We all know how important proper breathing is in our yoga practice and
that most of the breathing should be through the nose. Any input/experiences
with students with a "Deviated Septum". Are their nostrals changing every
couple hours even though they can only breath through one side?

Hi John

I'm not sure what you mean by a "deviated septum". Certainly I have had
problems with my nose for years - partly due to sinusitis and partly due to
internal scar tissue in my right nostril following a car accident some years
ago. I could hardly breathe through my nose at all before I took up KY
(around 15 months ago). Now my left nostril is almost clear and the right
one is clearing slowly, although still quite restricted. I put it down to
daily practice of breath of fire. I have not noticed any cycling between the
two nostrils, so I have to pass on that question.

On a related point, I also used to suffer from fibrositis at the rear of my
neck, normally brought on by exposure to drafts. A few months of neck rolls
seems to have cured that. Wonderful what KY can do for you! ;-)

Sat Nam!

Dear Doria,

Sounds interesting what you described but i it is not breath of fire.
Anyone want to submite your favorite description of breath of fire on the
list?. We have had many of these conversations.
