This entry refers to Sama Vritti Ujjayi and the vritti count of OMs, but never explains what those terms mean, or how to use them as the basis for kumbhaka pranayama practice. It would be helpful if the instructions could be rewritten to include the missing foundational information. |

Sarah-I don't think it's so much as it takes away oxygen from the baby, it's that because of having a baby inside of her, her organs are all already squished together and breathing can be difficult enough as it is... |

I believe pregnant women should avoid breath retention as this has a direct effect on the oxygen supply to the baby. please comment. |

Trust your inner guidance, go within and ask your question the answer will come. Some practices are not for all aspirants use your intuition. |

YJ: Please consider editing this page so that it's clear that this practice is not advised for people with high blood pressure . A person searching for "asanas for high blood pressure" from a search engine arrives at a YJ page titled "High Blood Pressure" with pics of various practices, including breath retention. Once they arrive at this page, it's not immediately clear that this practice is not advised for high blood pressure patients. |
