Pranayama Yoga to Wake Up

Gets easier with practice! This was so difficult for me a month ago.

What a lovely practice! It's been a while so thanks for reminding me how good pranayama feels

David: How totally devastating my morning routine I was locked 🔒 out
I was concerned but just sign back in and now I can do my breathing pranayama exercises wow I would miss this daily thank you

I really love this class as well as the other breathing classes. I recommend also trying the 'Skull cleanser' practices if you like this particular breath. Personally, I love it for when I have a headache, clears it right up. From the comments below I gather some people expect more 'proper' excercises, but it is all about breathing.

Thank you. It’s difficult, but leaves me feeling very good afterwards. I’ll keep trying this.

What a great 90 minutes of alignment and breathing practice. I’ve book marked these to pull up and revisit from time to time. Thank you.

Breathing exercises make me dizzy. Is that normal? It did feel energizing. Thank you.

Yay breath work love it thanks so much!

love the breathing.

Thanks to this class I am now woke. :)

I don’t know why, but I liked it. Where could I find some information on the purpose, or rationale for this exercise?

I found it interesting the relaxation, particularly around my jaw when I was doing this at speed, and not breathing in but letting the “in breath” do it’s own thing.

Went straight in for day 4 after day 3 as wanted to do a longer class. Struggled to keep up with the breathing but still felt much clearer in my breath afterwards

Not my favorite. Don’t really get the fast breathing.

Was totally confused by this practice. Could not understand the short breath exercise and am not sure I was breathing correctly bud did the best I could.

I have only tried this once before but am interested in trying more

Very energizing! Thank you David.

Starting to get the hang of it - more practice needed.

Feel ready to start my day

Thank you.

Ok; but need a bit more challenge beyond breath work

First time for me and found it quite difficult but interesting and beneficial

Hard to do with a cold... breathed out of my mouth.

Very helpful, thank you.

Wonderful little short practice to get light and energized in the morning.

Beneficial everyday!

Much harder then it looks. Got to 40 - couldn't do the 50. :)

Thanks David, I've tried this in the past and found it very difficult. Your demonstration of the correct technique was really helpful.

I have never done that before - interesting but good exercise

I have never done that before - interesting but good exercise

This session woke me up. Thanks

Okay.

Loved this session, thank you very much David.

As usual David you are a revelation. This is the best explanation of pranayama breathing that I have ever had. I used to hate it as I would get dizzy and my lips would go numb. Now I get it!

Thanks for the wake up, David! Nice breathe work. :)

Wasn’t sure at first but after completing really did feel more energized. Thank you!!

loved that thanks !

Interesting! Never done this before. Not my favorite thing....but interesting :)

I was skeptical but this did give me energy

This is an area I need to work on.

I am an asthmatic who takes 1 oral medicine and uses a steroid inhaler twice each day. I also use a rescue inhaler a few times a week. I am hoping these breathing exercises help my pulmonary function.

I did this right after getting out of bed this morning! I feel energized and aware of my body. Normally I feel groggy in the mornings.

Interesting, challenging and energizing

This one definitely needs practicing. As always love the thorough instructions David provides. The proper pronunciation of the Sanskrit names is wonderful and very helpful.

An invigorating way to wake up and feel energized!

Interesting and different.

Really interesting - I have never tried this before

Not one I am going to repeat, felt quite dispirited by the end.

Interesting... I can see the deeper, more subtle, spaces of my body being revealed.

Nice

Found this really hard. Could you do a video where you have a beginner doing the exercises as an achievable example?
