Regarding my breathing... I regularly attempted

to run up Earl Hill, but could not run all the way to

the top – I could always only get around half way.

Long story short, I damaged my MCL in my right

knee which put me out of action – I couldn’t run

any more.

I did aTeacher Training course with Knoff Yoga

which is a 3-week intensive course.

Total time with my injury and Teacher Training

time meant I could not run or attempt Earl Hill for

3 months.

After my Teacher Training I went back and ran up

3/4 of the way. Couple of days after, I attempted

it again and could run the whole of Earl Hill and

have been ever since.

My lung capacity was not there before my teacher

training course.Now my lungs are able to expand

further to allow a full breath and supply my body

with more oxygen, allowing me to have enough

fuel to reach the top of Earl Hill while running.

To go from never being able to run Earl Hill, then

not running at all for 3 months and then suddenly

being able to run all the way to the top, was100%

due to an increase in lung capacity. The Yoga

postures and pranayama (breathing exercises)

allowed the surrounding muscles of my thoracic

cavity (ribcage area) to release and my lungs now

expand further. This, along with thestrengthening

of my diaphragm.

I never knew how little of a lung capacity I had

until now and it also continues to expand further.

Every week I am noticing a little extra with my

breathing.There are many more improvements

in my overall health and wellbeing thanks to the

Knoff Yoga System and the teachers.
