I love yoga. It is the greatest thing I have ever done for my body. I think that the breathing is great for singing. It emphasizes deep breathing, and breathing through your nose (I had a problem with breathing through my mouth when I sing). I am not sure about the exhale (breathing out with a whisper), actually I have been worrying about it. I don't know how you all end up, but in my class we end with the corpse pose, then by sitting cross-legged in the stereotypical yoga position, but we change our breath. We breath through the nose, but we hold our tongue to our top front teeth and exhale slowly through the mouth, pausing between the inhale and exhale for a count of four. These two moves are the most restful for me. I have also noticed great changes in my body. I am not only more flexible, but I have not had any more back pain since starting yoga. I have also been working on balance. Thanks for reading. Sorry for rambling, but I would recommend yoga to anyone. :o)
