mddolson once bubbled...
Starfish!, are you sure you don't mean respiration rate?

At a pulse rate of 10 beats per minute you'd be in a comma!

I thought she meant that it has been lowered 10 bpm from where it was before the Yoga.
 
His pulse rate is down :wink: to 60 from 70 bpm, he's not out!
 
It is great for your air consumption.

If you haven't tried, give it a chance.

In about a month or two you will be a lot more aware of how you breathe.

Well, at least for me it worked like that.

As an instructor of Yoga, INHO...
DEFINITLY!!
:bounce:

I still get nervous diving on occasion, so I use not only the awareness of breath techniques with diving, but also alot of the philosophy....which can be used with anything.

Freediver...I read an article on freediving and breath tehcniques.
I thought I was reading how to breath from some of my Yoga literature! VERY siimilar

I haven't gotten to where I do poses underwater, tho.....well....okay........ Maybe headstand


:yea:
 
Hmm... I don't know about this yoga stuff... I don't think I want slow down any more than I already am. :)

I have the opposit problem from most people RE: pulse and blood pressure... Mine are low.

My father and one of my two sisters are the same.

My mom went on a salt-free diet once (so of course we all did...) and about a week into it, I got out of bed too fast one morning and passed out on the floor for a few seconds.

A 1/2 pound bag of Doritos for breakfast and I was fine again (I am a salt fiend).

My resting pulse tends to be in the low 50s. It was lower when I was on track team in highschool (low 40s) I took it once at 38 while on the verge of falling asleep in chemistry class. :wink:

Every time I go to give blood they ask me if I feel OK when they take my BP and then I have to convince them it's normal for me and they can go ahead and take the blood.
My OW instructor was surprised at my low air consumption for a beginner. It's gotten even better since.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that yogic breathing can benefit divers and non divers alike. I am very happy with what it has done for me: a very relaxed breathing pattern while underwater that allowed me (a couple weeks ago) to get 2 hours and some change in bottom time on a 63 cuft cylinder. This was, however, training dives in about 20 -25 feet of water.
 
Sorry all, I misread the post.

Dah, Ya think!

I thought you meant his pulse was down "TO" 10 bpm, not "BY" 10 bpm.

I need a swat with the "wake up stick" don't I?

Sorry about that.

best regards

MikeD
