In this brief segment of a yoga breathing tutorial, the instructor explains a simple rule for coordinating breath with movement: inhale when the diaphragm can fully expand—typically during upward arm movements or when entering a posture—while exhale during downward or forward‑folding actions when the torso is compressed and lung expansion is limited. The speaker then promotes an online one‑on‑one 300‑hour yoga teacher training program aimed at helping participants build a teaching business, and encourages viewers to follow the channel for future videos.

Chapters

If you're unsure about when to inhale and when to cue an exhale, remember this one thing: inhales happen when you have the full amount— oops, I tripped on my bolster— when you have the full amount of your breathing mechanisms available to you, when your diaphragm can open. When we are swooping our arms up, stepping into a posture. Opposite is true. Anytime you're collapsing, bringing your hands down to the ground, you're folding forward, that is an exhale because we can't expand our lungs when we're crunched in or folded. I do offer an online one-on-one 300-hour yoga teacher training that helps you to build a business as a yoga teacher. Check that out and light up the follow button so I see you in the next video.
