For Ramanan Sir - Breathing Excercises

[ramyaptnk]

Ramanan Sir,

Whenever I try doing any physical exercise or breathing exercise in particular, I have noticed that I start yawning incessantly after a few minutes. Does this indicate any health issues? I have no chronic or other health issues as such. Kindly help!

Dear ramyaptnk,

Do you feel sleepy or just yawn.

Not sleepy...just yawn

Dear ramyaptnk,

Just inhale a bit deeply first and let the brain get more oxygen. Do this in the standing posture and then sit down in a particular asana[posture] and start doing your breathing exercises. You will stop yawning in a few days..

Yes, I think you are right - may be I am exhaling more than inhaling which depletes oxygen and causes yawning to replenish the oxygen. I will try and let you know...thanks so much!
