Hello,
My name is Kathy,
And today I'm going to introduce the practice of pranayama square greeting.
Kroniyama is a wonderful practice that we can employ when we're feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
It can be done without anybody knowing we're doing it.
And it can really bring us back to a centered and grounded place.
Some benefits of pranayama include lower heart rate,
Lower blood pressure.
It can ease stress and anxiety.
It can.
Bring clarity and mental focus.
And it also activates our parasympathetic nervous system,
Which is obviously all music I say.
So square breathing is,
As it sounds,
We're going to be breathing in for the count of four.
We're gonna hold our breath for four counts.
We're going to exhale for four counts.
And then we're going to hold our breath out for four counts.
I will guide us through this,
So all you're going to need to do is find a comfortable squat to sit and relax in the best of your ability.
And maybe you're going to let your eyes fall closed if that feels comfortable for you,
Or at least bring them down a little bit,
Hood them so you can shut out the outer world for just a few minutes.
We're just going to begin to check in with our breath so here we're not trying to change or do anything with the cadence or the depth of our grip.
We're just noticing our breath.
So perhaps if you're breathing in through your nose,
You're noticing the cool air coming in through the nostrils.
Maybe you're noticing that your belly expands as you breathe in.
As you breathe out,
Perhaps you notice in the office that happens,
Your belly's coming back in.
Maybe you notice warm air on your breath this time coming out of your nose.
And just taking a minute.
To connect with our breath and check in with how we're feeling in our body.
I will invite you at the end to check in again and we'll see if this practice has helped make you feel calmer or more at ease.
So we're all going to begin together.
So I invite you to take a nice inhale and an exhale in this space.
And then I'm going to begin to count.
We're going to inhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Hold.
To three,
Or Exhale.
Two.
Three,
Four,
Hold out.
Two three four inhale two three or hold.
Two three,
Go over.
Act now.
To you three,
Whore Hold out.
Chew.

Or Inhale to.

Exhale.

Tchoo!
Three,
Go for inhale active two three.
4.
Oh.
Tschüss.
Three.
Or exhale.
Chew.
Three.
Or hold out.
Two Three.
Four.
Now we're just going to let our breathing return to normal cadence.
Its normal depth.
You may still have numbers running through your head.
That's normal.
But it's slip away,
Fall away and begin to focus on your breath.
As it returns to its normal cadence.
And I invite you to do a little check-in with your body and your mind.
Noticing S.
H.
Parkes' health.
Shit anything for you.
This is a practice that can be done at any time,
Anywhere.
People don't need to know you're doing it.
You simply just.
.
.
Start your Vox breathing.
You could be counting in your head and it can really help bring you back to center.
Hope,
Calm,
Stress,
And anxiety.
If you're having overwhelm at work or in a situation,
It can bring back mental clarity and focus.
I hope this practice has been beneficial for you today.
I thank you for joining me.
Again,
My name is Kathy.
And I wish you a beautiful day.
Latin.
