Ep.10 Viloma Pranayama
Viloma translates as 'Against the Grain', and this yogic breathing technique involves dividing our breath into parts. The influential yoga teacher BKS Iyengar likened this technique to climbing the rungs of a ladder, and dividing our breathing up in this way can help us find a little more awareness, a little more space, and even a little more softness within our breathing.
