What are The Eight Movements

The Eight Movements or Lunsang (meaning “purifying the prana”) are the key to harmonizing and reshaping habitual breathing patterns.

These movements have the very specific goal of training and developing four different ways of inhaling and exhaling and, especially, four different ways of holding the breath

Each of them are named after the fundamental aspects of breathing it trains: slow inhalation, open hold, directed hold, quick exhalation, quick inhalation, closed hold, contracted hold, and slow exhalation. 

Coordinating the inhalations, holds, and exhalations with the count is a fundamental tool for harmonizing the way our breath, and thus our energy, functions. Our energy becomes balanced and relaxed, and our vital life force strengthens.
