This is called Pranayam. We are doing this in India since ages... Good to see that 'experts' from Western countries taking baby steps to learn. Good for you guys! Keep it up. Note 1: Some 'expert' took my comment on their ego and downvoted my comment. Guys, my comment was encouraging. Taking it on your ego is your personal choice.

  I'm a German with lots of interest in Yoga science ... I'd say patience. And non-attachement.

  I don't think I have time to compare what East has to learn from West and vice-versa. You can try to document it as it suits you.

mainne englo shikshakon ke saath adhyayan kiya, lekin seedhe Sri BKS Iyengar ke vansh ke tahat. mere shikshak bahut satark the. main bahut achchhe svaasthy mein hoon aur tees saal baad ab meree achchhee aadaten hain. Light on Pranayama kee adhikaansh takaneeken ek shaharavaasee ke lie, yahaan tak ki mere lie bhee, bahut unnat hain. edit: apologies for the terrible Hindi, but since YNews was so rude to a guest with a downvote, I wanted to show some respect to the South Asian knowledge.

>This is called Pranayam. Does Pranayam involve high-resistance inspiratory breathing? Anyway, this is about scientific investigation, not received wisdom and cultural or religious practice. Conceivably they could have found no effect; would you have "congratulated" them then?

  > Does Pranayam involve high-resistance inspiratory breathing? Yes, Pranayama is vast. So many different exercises for different purposes. But keep in mind that I'm a German and my knowledge is from books and some videos only. I'm no expert ... One thing all sources I've read or seen are very clear about is that those exercises are advanced exercise. Also, Pranayama does very precisely assign exercises to specific conditions. One thing we "western" guys can improve on is patience. I see it with myself every second of my life :-).

Another commenter made this observation, but his comment was deleted by HN moderators. I sure hope Elon Musk takes over Twitter so we will not need HN to have an open conversation.
