Measure ES from front page
and rescoping as needs/priorities change. On
August 5, 2020, the Series B bonds were
sold and generated $33 million in project
proceeds, which will be used for Phase 2
of school facility upgrades.
To meet our community’s expectations, the
Board of Education established the following
objectives for the first year: 1) Ensure
that all ESUSD schools benefit from the
passage of Measure ES during first phase;
2) Strategically increase safety throughout
the District; 3) Positively impact classroom
instruction District-wide; and 4) Systemically
infuse high-impact visible change.
ESUSD’s plan is to complete larger
projects first to avoid escalation in construction
costs. The first phase of projects will be
completed over a three-year period. In January
2020, the ESUSD Board of Education
approved the rephasing of Measure ES
bond issuance from four series to three
series, following a special presentation by
financial advisory firm Piper Sandler. The
rephasing was implemented as a cost savings
measure to: 1) Reassign bond projects from
four to three phases to avoid construction
cost escalation by $11,980,154; 2) Reduce
total interest expense by $11,505,894 on the
$92,000,000 Measure ES Bonds; 3) Decrease
number of years taxpayers repay Measure
ES obligation from 30 years to 27 years; 4)
Reduce the Measure ES issuance transaction
fees by approximately $240,000; and
5) Increase the projected tax rate by $5/per
$100,000 of assessed valuation from $43 to
$48/per $100,000 of assessed valuation for
Measure ES Bonds.

Yogic Breathing Techniques
Support Respiratory Health
(BPT) - Because it happens automatically,
you probably don’t put much thought into
your breathing. However, the COVID-19
pandemic has brought focused attention
to respiratory health. Conscious breathing
- the yoga practice of pranayama - can
help support respiratory health, mental
wellness and the body’s physical ability to
protect itself.
Pranayama Basics and Benefits
Pranayama is breath control, and it is a
fundamental part of Kundalini Yoga. According
to the 3HO Foundation, the average rate
of breathing for most people is 16 times per
minute. When the rate of breathing increases,
or if it becomes rapid and irregular, the mind
also becomes disturbed and erratic.
Yoga practitioners believe that your rate
of breathing and your state of mind are
inseparable. When you learn how to focus
your breath, you have more control over your
mind, which influences mental well-being
by reducing stress and calming negative
responses.
Beyond mental wellness, researchers have
found that mindful breathing also supports
physical wellness. In controlling your breath,
you can help strengthen the immune system
and support the body’s response to disease.
This is particularly important when it comes
to respiratory health.
“Yoga - A Remedy to Respiratory Illness”
by Dr. Sripriya Krishnan states: “Research
studies report that many people with serious
respiratory ailments have found a solution
in yoga. As the mind is calmed the
hyper-reactivity that causes diseases such
as bronchial asthma and nasal allergy is
reduced. Yoga also strengthens the immune
system, so chronic infections are less likely.
Finally, if the lungs are permanently damaged,
as in chronic bronchitis, yoga teaches
how to improve the mechanical efficiency
of our breathing and make the most of our
lung capacity.”
Start a Pranayama
Practice at Home
With heightened awareness of respiratory
wellness, many people are exploring the
breathing exercises of pranayama at home.
Here are two simple Kundalini Yoga breathing
techniques you can practice anywhere to
improve your respiratory health:
Technique 1:
Long Deep Breathing
Long deep breathing uses the full capacity
of the lungs by utilizing the three parts of the
lungs: abdominal or lower, chest or middle,
clavicular or upper. Begin the inhale with
an abdominal breath. Then add the chest
breath and finish with a clavicular breath.
All three are done in a smooth motion.*
Start the exhale by relaxing the clavicle, then
slowly emptying the chest. Finally, pull in
the abdomen to force out any remaining air.
• Breathe through the nose, and focus on
gradually slowing your breath.
• Continue for 26 breaths, or 3-31 minutes.
Technique 2:
Alternate Nostril Breathing
Sit in a comfortable position either on the
floor or in a chair and maintain a straight
spine. Using the thumb and index fingers
of the right hand, make a “U” and use the
thumb to close off the right nostril and the
index finger to close off the left nostril.
• Close the left nostril, inhale deeply
through the right nostril. At the end of the
inhale, close the right nostril and exhale
through the left nostril.
• Now inhale through the left nostril fully
and deeply, then close the left nostril and
exhale through the right one.
• Again, inhale through the right nostril
and continue alternate nostril breathing.
The breath must be complete and full on
both the inhalation and exhalation cycles,
keeping the shoulders without tension and
the body relaxed.
• Continue for 3-5 minutes.
• To end, inhale deeply, hold the breath
a few seconds, lower the hand and exhale.
Controlled breathing through pranayama
can help improve respiratory health, which is
even more important during the coronavirus
pandemic. To learn more visit kundaliniresearchinstitute.
org and 3ho.org.
Your rate of breathing and your state of
mind are inseparable.
The slower your rate of breathing, the more
control you have over your mind.
The mind follows the breath, and the body
follows the mind. •
