Why does the yoga instructor keep reminding me to breath?

“Remember to breathe.”
I have never forgotten how to breathe in my life!
“Remember to breathe.”
Stretching, flexibility, and striking a pose that even remotely resembles the one she’s doing, I need help with, but breathing….I’ve always been good at that.
“Remember to breathe.”
Aw shaddup and help me untangle my legs!!!

I'm that person who forgets to breathe!!! I'm so focused on my pose and I find I do hold my breath. I don't know why

@Jenny1234 Do you black out in the middle of your “happy baby” pose?

@Ghostinthemachine what's the happy baby pose? I've never heard of that. I did fall asleep in my very first yoga class many years ago while we were on the floor just laying on our backs. That was a little embarassing lol.

Edit - I've looked up the happy baby pose. just never heard it called that before. no i don't black out

@Jenny1234 I had never heard of it before today, not that I can do it very well 😆
