Transcript

Find yourself in a comfortable position,

Preferably sitting.

Ensure that your back is straight,

Not rigid but comfortably straight.

Hands resting on your knees or in your lap,

Palms facing either up or down,

Whatever's comfortable for you.

Just a reminder that whenever we breathe in,

We breathe into the lower belly rather than the chest.

We're going to breathe in for four,

Hold for six and out for eight.

Please be aware of any strain or tension that may arise when holding the breath for those six counts.

We're simply holding the breath and the breath only,

So allow the body to be free and at ease when holding the breath.
