You will find it to be noisy and often through the mouth. If the person has obstructive sleep apnea, you may hear a snore followed by complete silence as they stop breathing for a period of up to a minute or longer.
Reduce the chemo-sensitivity of the body to the buildup of CO2 (carbon dioxide),

LIGHT
Finetune the calming receptors in the nervous system, lengthening the exhale to 1.5 times that of the inhale, by breathing
SLOW
Breathing quietly through the nose naturally increases diaphragmatic function,

DEEP
Given its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties.
Most NO is built up in the nasal cavity. The only way to harness nasal NO is to inhale slowly through the nose to allow for absorption throughout the respiratory system, and thus allow for greater oxygen uptake to the heart and brain.
Developing a habit of breathing lightly and slowly allows for a deeper, quieter breath:
as well as a deeper, quieter sleep.
Both snoring and sleep apnea are forms of Sleep Disordered Breathing, and can be improved and corrected by practicing simple breathing exercises designed to change breathing habits both day and night. When breathing becomes calmer and lighter, an individuals' sleep, overall health and performance will dramatically improve.
Form Follows Function.
Postural awareness during meditation (seated or in motion) is key to Functional Breathing, beginning with the proper placement of the tongue. Proper skeletal alignment frees up the diaphragm (the body's main breath and skeletal stabilizer) for movement and breath. It starts by finding connection and awareness.
Every Body has its own unique set of limitations in terms of how yoga is practiced and in terms of finding the time to practice. Yoga is accessible whenever and wherever one finds connection, on and off the mat. Yoga connects the mind with the body and the breath. It is a practice for life. Finding time and space is no longer an issue.
Often our thoughts are not where we are: not in the same place or time. Our minds have taken a quantum leap, likely tangled in some kind of story telling that's not serving any purpose right now. Find your feet and make connection.

Lydia offers transformative yoga practices informed by the Buteyko Breathing Method (Physician developed and Hatha Yoga based) to help keep you moving, breathing and sleeping better for life.
I credit my husband who found the Buteyko Breathing Method (BBM) through his FDN (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition) practitioners' channels while searching for answers to our son's adenoid condition. Had it not been for this valuable training I received I would not have been able to navigate though the forthcoming years.
We had just begun to see positive results in our son's adenoid condition with just applying the BBM, when we moved into a heavily toxic environment, with extremely high levels of aspergillus and penicillium molds among many other species throughout our home, including some "black mold." Our health began a rapid decline in just weeks. Thank goodness my husband's first answer to any health question is: "Don't Guess. Test." And, thank goodness he did. With Buteyko Breathing sleep apnea is a distant nightmare.
Discover the benefits of learning from an experienced Buteyko Breathing trainer. Restore nasal breathing 24/7 using simple breathing exercises tailored to meet your individual needs and sleep better than ever before.
Whether you're considering embarking on or recovering from airway surgery or hope to avoid it altogether; or if you are having a difficult time sleeping soundly through the night, I can make Breathing Re-Education accessible to you safely with ease.
