Hello everyone and welcome to this morning breathwork practice.

My name is Ben Holt and it's such an honor to have you here.

In this morning breathwork practice we are going to be diving in to a powerful energizing technique that is designed to boost the immune system,

Increase vitality and energy,

And allow for you to just feel completely alive.

This is a fantastic breathwork practice to do right when we wake up and pairing it with a cold shower is like pairing peanut butter with jelly.

There's nothing better.

So if you have a cold shower or access to a cold plunge,

Doing this breathwork before or after that is fantastic.

This breathwork is called dynamic breathwork but I want to create an interesting twist on this and make it specifically for your morning.

So with that being said we're going to go straight into the explanation for the breathwork and then we're going to go straight into the breathwork itself.

There's going to be two rounds so it's nice and short,

Less than 15 minutes long so that you can get exactly what you need quickly and efficiently every single morning.

If you're an experienced breather with me already then I invite you to skip to minute five to go ahead and start the practice.

But if you're new then go ahead and listen to the entire introduction and learn more about this style of breathwork.

Thank you guys,

Much love,

And I'll see you there.

Such a pleasure to be here to do dynamic breathwork with you all.

This breathwork practice has been instrumental in changing the lives of thousands and it's really proven to be the most complete and well-rounded and dynamic breathwork practice that we have discovered here at Awaken Breath.

So to do dynamic breathwork we need to be sitting up straight and tall or lying down.

Whenever we're sitting up our feet need to be flat and our spine very erect.

We need to be sitting in an area where there's safety around us.

There's blankets,

Pillows,

Just in case we need to lay down.

But if you're lying down I invite you to use an eye mask as well.

Closing the eyes and just relaxing whether you're on the bed or a yoga mat doesn't really matter just as long as you're comfortable.

Dynamic breathwork is a four-step breathwork practice.

The first step is 40 controlled hyperventilated breaths that sound like this.

We're inhaling as much breath as we can in as much oxygen as we can in all the way filling up the lungs all the way and relaxing the breath out.

And we're doing that through the mouth.

The next step is a big inhale and then an exhale.

You see we take a big inhale in on our last breath and we sigh the breath out.

Right at the end of that sigh we're going to hold the breath for about a minute to a minute and a half.

After that we're gonna take a big deep breath in through the nose tongue to the roof of the mouth so we can do this inhale with a really powerful force.

Sounds like this.

Filling up the lungs,

The belly,

The chest,

All the way.

We want to fill up all the way breathing deep deep deep into the nose.

After that we're gonna hold the breath for about another minute and after that minute passes we're going to on the breath out together just like that.

So the four steps 40 controlled hyperventilated breaths a big inhale and then sigh the breath out then we hold the breath after the exhale.

Then we're gonna take a deep deep breath in through the nose we're gonna hold the breath for about another minute.

During this last breath hold in the middle of the breath hold I'm going to instruct you to sip a little more air in and you'll do that through your mouth sounding like this.

This is so we can fill up the lungs even more.

We want to stretch the lungs and create more lung capacity.

If you're interested in why dynamic breath work is good for us then I invite you to look up the benefits of Wim Hof breathing and it will share everything that you need to know right there including how much it helps with inflammation,

How much it increases lung capacity,

How it's incredible for defending our bodies against disease and virus,

You name it.

Dynamic breath work is incredible so I'm very excited to be practicing it with you today and in just a moment we're gonna begin.

So go ahead and get nice and comfortable whether you're sitting up or lying down.

Go ahead and pause this video if you need to and go ahead and get in a comfortable position.

Great now that you're in a comfortable position let's go ahead and begin.

We'll start by taking nice deep breaths through the nose and sighing them out through the mouth.

Allowing your exhale to be nice and vocal.
