Now that you have learned how to breathe deeply and engage and strengthen the deep core muscles (bandhas) from the first two videos in this series, David shows you how to use these principles to stabilize the lower back and pelvis while stretching and doing some of the most common yoga poses. If you would like to start from the beginning, the first class in this series is The 3-Part Breath and Ujjayi Breathing and the second class is Integrating the Breath and the Bandhas. You can also find all three together in our program Establish Your Core Stability and Strength and on our Yoga for Beginners page.

Hi David: I found it difficult to keep up with you because I wasn 't told when to breath as you were instructing at the same time. I got lost and was out of sync with your guidance. Is it possible to make an entire guidance video maybe 1 hour long of nothing but pranayama breathing with all the bandhas included...with you speaking and telling us moment by moment when to breath, what type of breath to engage, and when to exhale and begin again??? I will probably want to buy this one from your site if you make it. Just like the your video on hips, Hamstrings and lower back? I can follow that one perfectly.
I am a senior in quaranteen and I have taken up this new healthy hobby. I want to subscribe, but cannot do so right now.
'Thank you for all your expert guidance and knowledge!

Fantastic, adds a whole new dimension to doing the downward dog. I did struggle holding the bandas when in the seated position, but this is the new challenge. Thanks David.
I’m finding these sessions extremely rewarding, but always struggle to tell if my body is positioned correctly. (Are my knees below my hips? No mirror and no idea!) but the real challenge was base of hands in downward dog. So painful by the end that I had to come out early. Makes me think my weight was improperly distributed but not sure how to figure that out. Will just keep trying.
With finger interlaced and elbows straight I'm unable to get my arms much more than 45 degrees above horizontal. Which is more important, to keep my elbows straight or to raise my hands directly overhead?
