Hey there,

This quick and punchy practice will shift you from lethargy and brain fog to awake,

Alert,

Calm and focused.

Find a comfortable seat with your spine upright.

If you're prone to dizziness,

Sit with a backrest or something soft behind you just in case you need support.

We'll be taking 40 powerful breaths in and out through the mouth,

Filling all the way up and letting go.

Keep your jaw relaxed and your mouth wide.

Upon the 40th and final breath,

You'll exhale fully and hold your breath out for about 45 seconds.

When it's time to inhale,

Breathe in deeply through your nose,

Filling all the way up and we'll hold this for about 15 seconds before letting go and relaxing the body.

Finally,

We'll take one more relaxing breath through the nose to seal the practice.

If you do this right,

The shift in your state will be palpable.

So get comfortable and we'll take our first breath in,
