Yoga Report

My experiment with static tables started yesterday.

general note: the increase should be 0’10” between each hold and that there should be 8 breath holds. I chose to use the first sessions to find my current max and where my training level should be.

I started with nadi shodan pranayama, Alternate Nostril Breath (16:64:32:32 ) ,  with emphasis on the exhale being longer than inhale. I did this for roughly 10 minutes and then I started the O2 table, increasing hold and fixed recovery time. Slightly longer recovery time were used :

• hold: 2’00”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 2’10”
• recovery:  approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 2’30”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 2’30′

today I did the same nadi shodana 10 minutes warm up.

• hold: 2’00”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 2’10”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 3’00”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 3’00′
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 2’40′
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 4’00”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 3’00”
• recovery: approximately 3 minutes
• hold: 3’10′

I was happy to reach 4 minutes for the first time this year.
