Advanced Guided Breathing (4 Rounds, 3-Minute Retention)

This is an advanced session of Breathwork. We will begin with 1 minute of retention, working up to 3 minutes. The sessions include guided breathwork with the sounds of a buffalo drum, Tibetan singing bowls, and chimes in the background. Enjoy this journey to your highest self while we bring the blood to an alkaline state and pressurize the oxygen within the body, so you can tap into the nervous system and the highest functions of the brain.

If you need to breathe before I give the cue,

That's okay.

Breathe in deeply and hold it for 15 seconds.

I want you to take your breath and press it from your belly up through your heart,

Through your neck,

And really squeeze in your head.

Squeeze your brows,

Squeeze your eyes,

Squeeze and pressurize all that new oxygen.

And release.

At the end of a long hold,

I find myself clenching and kind of tightening up.

I want you to do a see if you can relax here.

Relax your shoulders.

Relax your brow.

Just hold.

Just be in this moment.

Reviews

I love this guided breathing exercise and make it part of the way I greet every day.

Ryan this was my first time getting through 4 rounds. Improving each day! Thanks for sharing!

😌🙏🏾 transcendent practice. feeling deep alignment between my subtle and physical bodies after this breathwork.

so grateful for this practice.

Exhilarating...and amazingly peaceful. I had no idea I could hold my breath that long.

I do this every morning, but wow! Today was incredible.

First class - not quite made the 3 min breath hold but am getting there. Trying apnea training and the two things seem to work well together

Fantastic. Ryan is the best. I wish I lived closer to his events. Thank you so much Ryan!

no matter how rough my morning this gives me the vigor needed to go about my day

Achieved nirvana with this one…

yup amazing !

Amazing As always . Thank you 🙏

A really good way to start my day. Thank you so much Ryan. It is really helpful.💜🙏💜😊✨
I am aiming at the 4 mn hold, I press the pause button holding a bit longer before taking the giant breath. I have been trying on my own with the timer but I prefer with your guidance. I was able to hold that long a few times but it is a challenge. What is the maximum hold a grandma can take?

Excellent breath work exercise. Thanks

Love this one. Love the long holds. Always amazing. Ryan’s Breathwork is like rebooting a computer but you’re the computer. Total reset for the mind, body, and spirit.

Was feeling panicky this morning 🌅 and this breathing exercise helped me become more present. Thanx Ryan!

This has a raw, stark quality that I love. Your down-to-earth guidance alongside steady progression of drum beats & tones do so well to suspend me in exhilarating breath holds. Thank you for this! 💥🌱💥

Challenging and rewarding💜

Powerful jurney.

Wim Hof method is an amazing practice .. still tingling all over .. however the aim is to tap into the brain and ones highest self .. I’m unsure what that is, what I’m meant to feel and how to apply this to say everyday living .. the application of my highest self .. would love your guidance .. thanks Ryan

Good morning thank you for this. Newbie to this. First time today. At a time when we need to all be really mindful of keeping our lungs as healthy as can be I was curious to try this. I’ve only ever breath held when swimming- lengths underwater and loved the sensation and connection with the underwater world. I did well till the last round, had violet and emerald third eye visualisation... Not sure if the deep breaths can be through mouth or nose? I did nose. I also did laying down as I usually use that posture for my morning session. I am going to try this sitting & perhaps just before bed? I love the tingling cleansed sensation ... thanks again.
