Breathwork For Energy Movement

A breath practice for when you feel stuck: flat, heavy, or like something has been still for a little too long. Moving between equal breathing and a double-inhale technique, this practice creates momentum without force or pressure, gently moving stagnant energy through the body. For foggy days and low motivation, this is an invitation to create movement from within, and let energy follow.
