Lektion 4
Breath Work to Bring You Back to Balance
When we experience a lot of stress, feel overwhelmed, or lead an irregular lifestyle, we come out of balance quickly. When traveling, we also come out of balance fast. It is because traveling brings us out of our usual routine - we often change time zones, eat different food, and change our sleeping rhythm. When our life is full, we will go out of balance from time to time. It is normal! The great news is that we have the knowledge and tools to help us return to a state of equilibrium.
In this lesson, you will learn how to return to balance yourself through the breath. I will guide you through a simple practice that will leave you feeling calm, centered, and at ease. This breathwork is excellent to do anytime you feel out of balance.
