YOGA BREATHING TECHNIQUES (a.k.a. Pranayama)
A big part of hatha yoga is pranayama, or the practice of extending & controlling the breath. There’s an ancient yoga idea that the your age is most accurately measured not by how many years you’ve lived, but by how many breaths you’ve taken.
Advanced yoga breathing (pranayama) is best taught one-on-one with a teacher, but there are some simple preparatory breathing exercises you can safely practice on your own. Pranayama is believed to be extremely powerful for balancing the nervous system, detoxifying the body (through the lungs), and rapidly shifting your mental state from that of outward, worldly focus, to a more introspective and spiritual state.

To begin, you want to find a comfortable seated position with your legs crossed. If you can talk half or full lotus, that’s great, if not, it’s not important. Just take any cross-legged seated pose that you find comfortable. Feel free to put a pillow underneath your bum if that eases the stress on your back.
For nearly all yogic breathing techniques, the breath is drawn in and out the nose only. There are some exceptions to this, but in general, nostril breathing provides a much more controlled and integrated breath than mouth breathing. We generally breathe through our mouth during period of physical exertion or dull mind states like observing a public sports event.
Nostril breathing naturally correlates with an elevated spiritual state, heightened awareness, and an internal poise. It’s also much easier to regulate the breath as we take it in and out through the small space of the nostrils as opposed to the wide opening of out mouth.

A hamstring refers to one of the tendons that make up the borders of space behind the knee. It usually includes tendons of semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris. The main job of the hamstring is to extend the hip joint and flex the knee. Runners are more likely to have hamstring problems because of overuse. Sometimes the pain is not experienced because it suddenly comes and goes i.e. it vanishes after the muscles warm up. Stretching in a wrong way may worsen the pain. The hamstrings are activated with increasing workout in activities involving sudden movements and jerks. Lack of movement may cause tightening of the hamstrings. http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/dropback.html
Hamstring flexibility is crucial for runners. Professional runners, workout under the supervision of certified trainers and hamstring flexibility yoga stretches form a major part of the flexibility stretches. Amateur runners may make the mistake of not realizing the importance of these yoga stretches and will soon feel the adverse effects. Including yoga in your daily pre-running practice is absolutely essential to avoid injuries to the hamstrings.
A few yoga stretches for hamstring flexibility development are listed below:
Forward bend — Stand straight with both legs together. Now slowly raise your hands and bend forward and try to touch your feet, maintain this posture for a few seconds and return to the start position. Repeat 3-4 times.
Backward Bend – Stand straight with both legs together. Now slowly raise both your hands and bend backward as much as you can. Maintain this posture for a few seconds. Return to the start position. Repeat 3-4 times.
Supine leg stretches (Supta Padangushthasana). — Lie down straight,. Now slowly raise the right leg with the knee straight. Try and grasp the thigh and stretch as much as you can.
