Yoga is 'skip breathing'.
You breath in for a set ammount of time hold your breath for the same time, then breath out for the same period of time. This is skip breathing!
Skip breathing is only bad in diving when you are doing it to save air. You are then depriving yourself of oxygen that you actually need.
Skip breathing if you are able to do it properly makes you more relaxed(like yoga) you are breathing in a more controlled manner, but it does save air!
