Lektion 1
Easeful Breath: Building The Foundation For Calm And Safety
In this first lesson, you’re gently introduced to the foundations of restorative breathwork and the power of easeful breath. You’ll learn how slowing and lengthening your breath—especially the exhale—signals safety to your nervous system and activates rest-and-digest. Through simple breath awareness, a soft inhale–longer exhale rhythm, and a brief body scan, this lesson helps you settle tension, calm your mind, and begin building a reliable anchor you can return to anytime you need grounding, relaxation, or rest.
Lektion 2
The Hugging Breath Of Self-Soothing And Safety
We'll build on the easeful breath by exploring the hugging breath—a deeply nurturing practice that blends mindful breathing with self-soothing touch.
You’ll learn how a gentle self-hug combined with slow, intentional breathing can stimulate feelings of safety, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation by activating your body’s rest-and-digest response.
This lesson invites you to practice self-compassion in a tangible way, offering comfort during moments of anxiety, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm while reminding you that you can be your own steady source of care.

Seashore Breath For Quieting The Mind
The Seashore Breath is a soothing practice inspired by the natural rhythm of ocean waves.
This technique uses a gentle, wave-like exhale to calm a busy mind and invite deeper relaxation.

Reverse Whistle Breath: A Cooling Breath
This is a refreshing, cooling technique inspired by traditional yogic practices like Sheetali.
This practice helps you soothe your nervous system when you feel overheated, overwhelmed, or mentally foggy. By gently sipping cool air through pursed lips and exhaling slowly through your nose, you signal your body to slow down, release agitation, and restore balance—making this an ideal breath for stressful moments, warm days, or anytime you need a clear, cooling reset.

Tongue Roll Breath For Calm And Emotional Balance
Let's explore the Tongue Roll Breath—also known as Sheetali Pranayama—a deeply cooling and calming practice used to soothe both body and mind.
This practice helps reduce heat, restlessness, and emotional intensity by drawing cool air in through the tongue (or pursed lips) and releasing slowly through the nose.
You’ll learn how this gentle breath stimulates the vagus nerve, supports emotional regulation, and becomes a go-to tool for winding down before sleep, recovering from stress, or inviting calm clarity back into your day.

Slumber Breath For Deep Relaxation And Better Sleep
Slumber Breath is a slow, rhythmic breathing practice designed to help you release the day and prepare your body for deep, nourishing rest.
Building on the calming breath patterns you’ve already learned, this technique gently lengthens the exhale to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and quiet mental chatter.
You’ll explore how a simple inhale-for-four, exhale-for-six rhythm can soften tension, slow your heart rate, and support easier sleep—making this a comforting practice to return to at bedtime, after stress, or when you wake during the night.
