Yoga Anatomy Homework for November 8, 2006



Hi All.

In our usual G.O.B.S. format, please BRIEFLY describe the following breath patterns in terms of diaphragmatic and accessory action:

"Belly Breath"

"Chest Breath"

and for extra credit:

"Kapalabhati"

Key words to use would be diaphragm, intercostals, abdominals, stabilize, mobilize, support, release, contract, relax.


I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday, when we will practice "seesaw breathing," explore more principles of Brahmana/Langhana and get more specific about the names of the accessory muscles.

Have a great weekend.


Leslie
