A huge part of any yoga class involves working with the breath. In both vinyasa and ashtanga yoga, movements are coordinated with your inhales and exhales and, even if you aren’t practicing these styles, time will always be given to observing and lengthening the breath at the start of class. Some teachers even incorporate pranayama (breath exercises) into their classes.
With a regular yoga practice comes improved respiration and healthy lungs helping to get the oxygen you need into the blood and where it’s needed around the body.
