Breath is a life, a vital force, if no breath then no life, person will die without breath, in yoga breath is very important.

呼吸对于生命来说是至关重要的，没有呼吸就没有生命。在瑜伽练习中，呼吸非常重要。

   This often happens with beginners or old practitioners during Yoga class that they feel dizzy, or sometime can't catch the breath or can't follow the same breathing pattern as Teacher's instructions. Some teachers force to follow abdomen breathing (Fu shi hushi), I strongly suggest to my students that don't panic, just go with your natural breathing, in the beginning don't force yourself for abdomen breathing, it will come slowly and automatically while time passes, first just try to feel your breathing, and slowly and deeply Inhale and Exhale, try to follow your Yogic movements with breathing. If you can't catch your breath during Yoga movements then slow down first catch your breath and then go further for Yogic movements.

无论是刚接触瑜伽的人还是已经练习一段时间的人，在瑜伽课堂上经常会有眩晕的感觉，或者有时跟不上教练的呼吸节奏。一些教练强迫大家用腹式呼吸，我强烈建议我的学生不要惊慌，只需要跟随你自己的自然的呼吸，一开始不要强迫自己去腹式呼吸。随着时间的推移，你会慢慢地、自然而然地找到腹式呼吸的感觉。一开始只需要感觉你自己的呼吸，慢慢地、深深地吸、呼，试着让呼吸跟上你的动作。如果你在练习瑜伽时呼吸跟不上，就慢下来，找到你的呼吸，再进一步进行瑜伽练习。

    Breathing is the most important factor during Yoga class, if you are just doing some movement of your body, but not aware about your breathing, then this is not a yoga practice, this is just like an exercise. There is a big difference between Yoga and Exercise, so better don't mix them. As a Yoga practitioner first listen to your own body, stretch or bend your body according to your physical limitations, don't force or panic, go smoothly with deep breathing.

在瑜伽课堂中呼吸是最重要的因素，如果你只是进行一些身体上的运动，而不关注自己的呼吸，这不是瑜伽练习，只是一般的运动。瑜伽与体育锻炼之间有很大的差别，最好不要混为一谈。作为一个瑜伽练习者，首先倾听你自己的身体的声音，根据你自己的身体极限去伸展或弯曲你的身体。不要强求或焦虑，随着深深的呼吸平稳推进。

    Just Breathe deeply and feel the breath then practice Yoga and feel the difference, aware about your breathing, feel the breath in and breath out during your Yoga sessions.

只要深深的呼吸，感受你的呼吸，然后练习瑜伽，感受不同。关注你的呼吸，在瑜伽的过程中感觉吸进……呼出……

Namaste,
