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. Okay, Breathing in for a count of three, Two, One, And breathing out for five, Four, Three, Two, One.

This is my favourite quick go to breathing exercise! 🙂 Simple and effective. The counting helps me stay concentrated and I was surprised by how 'easily' I got to breathing in for 4 and out for 8. I do ujjayi/ocean breaths so it's calming, and I'm sure it helps strengthen my diaphragm too. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this valuable practice 🙏💗✨
