FULL YOGIC BREATH

Also known as dirgha swasam (the three-part breath), this technique reconnects you to the natural depth of your breath by inviting you to:

  • Inhale into the belly (diaphragm)

  • Expand into the ribs (intercostals)

  • Rise into the chest (clavicular)

When practiced with awareness and ease, Full Yogic Breath can:

  • Repattern shallow or fragmented breathing

  • Calm the nervous system and ease anxiety

  • Expand lung capacity and oxygen flow

  • Cultivate a sense of grounded presence

  • Lay the foundation for more advanced breathwork

It’s not about forcing a “big” breath, but rediscovering the complete breath that’s already within you—layer by layer, wave by wave.

Ideal as a daily anchor, a centering pause, or a gentle reset whenever the breath feels short, high, or tense.
