To practice breath of joy start standing in Tadasana (mountain pose) with feet parallel and hip width apart; knees slightly bent.
Start by taking three short, rapid inhales and exhales making audible sounds as oxygen fills your lungs
Rapidly inhaling 1/3 of your lung capacity, swing your arms in front you parallel to one another about shoulder width apart with your palms facing up
Follow with your second rapid inhale bringing your arms out to the side; shoulder height; Palms facing Down
The third rapid inhale brings you to your full lung capacity while inhaling float your arms above your head with your palms facing each other
Then open your mouth and exhale completely swinging your arms forward and down past your knees making an audible sound ha or a large sigh as you exhale.
