Introduction
Working with your breath is one of the most powerful ways to alleviate stress and to calm the system down. And the great thing is you always have this tool with you!
We recommend you repeat each exercise for 3 to 4 days so that you learn the effects each one has and become familiar with your toolkit of exercises.
Always keep the breathing easy for your lungs, don't overstretch your breath so that you feel any tension. You can build up to the 5 minutes practices gradually and when we count the inhales and exhales you can change the pace of the count to suit you.
Your classes
Each breathing practice has a short introduction video to watch first. You can then go straight to the practices next time.
