Mastering of breathing practices at the initial stage of training in the elective direction "Fitness yoga"

The importance of the respiratory function is undeniable, but we so rarely think about the importance of each inhalation and exhalation made. In classes of the elective direction “Fitness Yoga” of the discipline “Physical Culture and Sports” at Petrozavodsk State University, by mastering breathing exercises and regularly doing breathing practices, we try to convey to students the importance of this process. Our goal is to teach the ability to evaluate the process of regular breathing practice and consciously relate to it.
