Short And Sweet Cortisol Detox Breathwork Flow

This short and accessible breathwork flow helps you shift into a calm, parasympathetic state. You'll breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth for 10 breaths, followed by a 20-second hold at the top of the last breath. This deepens oxygen exchange, clears carbon dioxide, and creates a moment of stillness and peace.

Use this anytime you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in fight-or-flight mode to reset your nervous system. It’s also a great way to transition between activities—helping you shift from high-energy, task-focused states into relaxation and presence.

Hello there and welcome to this cortisol detox breathwork flow.

Let's get right to it.

Find a comfortable seat or lay down if you prefer.

We're gonna be taking 10 breaths in through the nose,

Slowly breathing faster and faster,

And on the 10th breath we're gonna hold our breath at the top for about 20 seconds.

Let's begin.

Breathing in,

Filling all the way up,

And letting go,

Releasing tension.

Breathe in the biggest breath that you've taken all day,

All the way up to the top,

And hold it here.

Keep on holding,

Keeping your awareness internalized on your body and your sensations.

We're about halfway there.

At any time.
