How did you do?
The aim is not simply to remember the difference between
breathe and breath.
You want to become comfortable with complete expressions such as
take a deep breath, release tension, slow down,
focus your attention and feel more relaxed.
These expressions can then be used outside Yoga too.
You can talk about work, stress, sleep, concentration,
recovery and everyday wellbeing.
A simple topic such as breathing can therefore become the starting
point for much wider English conversation.
