To make the movements conscious, conscious breathing is required. Here, we are referring to movements as a part of a yoga
program. The breath indicates the stamina of a person in advance. It indicates the point of rest. Practice should always be
within one's limit. Secondly, conscious breathing has an immediate effect on the spine. It improves the effect of the
movements. When you inhale, the chest expands and the spine is straightened. Further, breath can be used as a tool to focus
one's attention or to relax. Inhalation is used to focus one's attention and work on the chest. Exhalation is used to relax
and work on the abdomen. Conscious breathing is one of the greatest tools to influence the effect of postures without
changing the posture.
