Thanks for the comment, Ian. Yoga has been hugely influential in my study of voice as well as my practice. I first learned about “intention” from yoga: we set our intention for each practice when we go the mat. And the physical process of breathing for yoga is very similar, though the constriction of the throat is not something we encourage when speaking or singing, lol! K8

Great article, Kate. I'm reminded of the instructor in my yoga class who always spends the first few minutes getting the class to focus on our breathing. Yoga teaches the technique of breathing in and out through the nostrils and the throat slightly constricted on the exhale so you get a "Darth Vader" sound. This is called Ujjayi breathing or "victory breath".
