La respiración, es lo que marca la diferencia entre la práctica de yoga y cualquier otra forma de ejercicio. Cuando respiramos conscientemente, podemos llevar nuestros sistemas nerviosos a estar en equilibrio y esto nos hace más saludables física, mental y emocionalmente. En este taller, vamos a apredner un poco más acerca de cómo los mecanismos de la repiración afectan a nuestro cuerpo y cómo cuando practicamos asanas (posturas), es importante utilizar la respiración de formas específicas para poder aprovechar todos sus beneficios. También visitaremos algunas técnicas de Pranayama o respiración controlada que nos ayudarán a entender mejor nuestra práctica de yoga en general.
