Good Breath

I had to laugh at myself because earlier I did yoga and even got on the treadmill for a short time.  Both involve breathing; yoga breathing is practiced during it and it’s natural to breath while walking.  
 
I really needed a massage and it’s important I get regular massage for my health. Shortly into a massage I realized I was holding my breath and/or shallow breathing. It was more challenging lying face down but I knew massage is more effective with good breath.
 
I was glad I could laugh at myself about it and concentrate on improving breath during the massage so it was more productive.
 
Have you ever noticed how you catch your breath doing tasks or hold your breath during certain times?
