Hello and thank you for the question.
Breathing is one of the most important elements of a yoga practice.If your breathing isn`t relaxed,your body and your mind can`t relax.Practically speaking,breathing slowly can lower your heart rate,brings oxygen to the lungs.So let me advice you that your breath should be slow,deep and even because each movement is linked to a breath.Always start with an easy breathing excercise,inhale to lengthen/expand/open in a pose;exhale to fold/twist/relax.With twisting poses,you inhale as you"undo"the twis,then exhale as you return to a neutral position.
Best regards.
