Don't Forget to Breathe!

Breathing is super important when doing any kind of movement. One thing they teach in yoga is letting the breath move you. So, for example, if you're doing an exercise that involves expanding, that is typically when you would inhale and when you contract, that is when you would exhale. In Pike's Peak for example, you best believe I'm taking a deep inhale whenever I shift over to a side! Or in Hips of Fury, if I'm twisting to my opening side, I am typically inhaling there and exhaling when I am twisting to my closed side.

When you breathe, breathe as deep as you can, letting the air flowing within you fuel your movements. It helps especially when things get tough and sweaty! It also serves as a form of relaxation, especially during hard movements. By breathing, your mind is relaxed and therefore, your nervous system will be too. A relaxed nervous system allows your body to open up more while also putting you in a meditative state, so your mind doesn't wander and think about things (like the pain of the workouts LOL, or anything that could be causing you distress in your life, etc.).
