The reason why we breathe deep in yoga is not because it is correct. The reason we breathe with awareness and deeply is because when our attention is yoked to the breath, the mind can begin to still. We are not interested in a still mind because it is the right technique, but rather because when the mind is still it is inherently blissful.
It is what Patanjali says, Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodah - Yoga is found in the present moment when the fluctuations of the mind (thinking mind activity) have been suspended.
