When Not to Use Ujjayi Breathing.



 

Youtube

Yes, we all know that Ujjayi breathing is the bomb. (Does anyone even say “the bomb” anymore?)

But sometimes…not so much…

 

Thanks to elephriend Kirk Hensler at Hale Holistic for the laugh and perspective!

Kate Bartolotta is the strongest girl in the world. She is the love child of a pirate and a roller derby queen. She hails from the second star to the right. She doesn't know how to behave with all the apples and ibexes. She doesn't suffer from her eight million freckles, she loves them! She drinks her lemonade right from the jug. Like a rolling stone, Kate gathers no moss. Kate loves kale, being barefoot, Dr. Seuss, singing too loudly, gallivanting, palindromes, blackberries, Elvis Presley, magic tricks and (of course) elephants. She has been charged with (and found guilty of) overusing the exclamation point! When she's not writing, you can find her practicing yoga, running in the woods, playing with her kids, devouring a book, planting dandelions, changing the world and doing her dishes. Kate does not play the accordion. She is on her way to becoming a fabulous massage therapist, a mediocre writer and a compassionate friend to all. This year Kate aspires to finally give up on learning to knit and will instead spend that time writing for elephant journal. Connect with Kate on Facebook and Twitter

    Such a funny guy misconception(yes, I get the humor and it is funny) but I think guys need validation, especially when doing yoga.

    Reminded me of the question I asked my wife a week ago. I have been doing yoga for a number of months, attending classes 3-4 times a week. I asked her if she noticed any changes in my body and after a long pause, she quietly said, "no, not really." The lightning bolt that hit me body ego also tagged my brain and I realized I needed some validation and like the ujjayi breathing video, I had been outed as missing the point of doing yoga.
