Hello everyone,
Thank you for joining me for this pranayama practice.
Breath work is so important and in my opinion,
Super cool.
Breathing is one of the only inner functions we can control by slowing,
Retaining,
Stopping,
Or picking up the speed.
During this practice,
We will be playing with slow deep inhales and long exhales.
We're going to try to make our exhales a little longer than the inhales as it will help to slow the heart rate and bring us into a more restful state.
During this practice,
It will be easier if you're sitting up straight.
Have a long beautiful highway of energy from the crown of your head to the tip of your tail.
Let's begin by all taking a deep breath in and breathing out.
Again,
A deep breath in and out.

Amazing job,
Everyone.
You can resume your regular breathing pattern.
Those long inhales are super hard,
So if you made it through,
Great work.
And if you didn't,
Also great work.
Breath work is a practice and will need to be done every day to be improved.
So be kind to yourself if you didn't make it through.
You still got the benefits of sitting with us and breathing,
Which is so important.
I hope wherever you're listening to this,
You continue to bring this mindful breath through your day.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Love you.
And God bless you on this day.
