In this session, we'll use a super-simple pranayama or breathing exercise to help release and let go of anxiety or panic. You can use this technique any time you feel anxious, panicky, or fearful. Deep belly breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is part of the nervous system responsible for regulating heartbeat, blood flow, breathing, and digestion, and reduces the stress hormone cortisol in the body.
