Alright,

I got another breathe to the beat for you.

This is a beginner session which just means that we're going to be doing 30 seconds breath hold,

Then 45,

Then a full minute.

Do your best as always and just follow my words and follow the beat.

We're going to have two different types of breathing.

First one is called Kalabhati breathing.

Forceful exhales through the nostrils.

Sounds like this.

And then we have alkaline breathing.

Inhale through the nostrils,

Exhale through the mouth.

Alright,

That's it.

Let's get started.

Kalabhati breathing.

Let's go.

That's it.

You got it.

Just follow that beat.

Really use that diaphragm.

Let the navel come right back to the spine.

Keep it coming.

Very much like a workout for that diaphragm.

In a moment,

We're going to go double speed though.

Get ready.

In 3,

2,

1.

Let's go.

Alright,

Now you're working.

And if you want to let that body move,

Get a little bit primal with this music,

I encourage that kind of behavior.

Just enjoying this breath,

Enjoying this beat.

And exhale out straight into that breath hold.

Now just notice the difference now.

Notice the calm.

And just open up your mind's eye to the experience you're having right now.

You focus on breathing when you are breathing,

That's great.

Now focus on what your body feels like when you're not breathing.

What can you notice?

Recovery breath.

Nice.

Enjoy that.

Congrats on your first breath hold.

Enjoying this recovery breath.

Next up,

We're going to do some alkaline breathing.

Alright,

Get ready.

Exhale.

And into alkaline breathing.

This time using the mouth to exhale out.

Far more labor intensive this,

But that's okay.

Notice any lightheadedness,

Notice any change in temperature,

Notice any tingling.

Get ready.

Double time.

Alright,

Now you're working for sure.

Keep it coming.

Alright,

Last few breaths and into a next breath hold.

Here we go.

In three,

Two,

One.

Exhale out.

Straight into a breath hold.

Becoming completely aware of what it's like to have no air.

Becoming aware of what's happening in your body.

The subtle changes happening right now.

Alright,

Good job.

Recovery breath is imminent.

Alright,

Good job.

Breathe in for me.

And hold.

Next round,

We're going to do a mixture of Kalabhati and alkaline.

Starting with Kalabhati though.

Alright,

Exhale out.

Get ready for Kalabhati breathing.

Alright,

You're well versed at this type of breathing now.

So give it everything you got.

Make sure that diaphragm is working hard.

Alright,

Come on.

This is the last round.

You got this.

Get ready.

Last time we're going to be doing this double speed Kalabhati.

There it is.

Enjoy it.

Embracing what it is to be alive.

Embracing what it is to have air.

Alright,

Good job.

Coming to the end of that Kalabhati breathing.

Shifting into alkaline.

In 3,

2,

1,

Let's go.

Becoming aware of any changes in your body.

Any lightheadedness.

Just inviting these experiences in.

Alright,

Double speed.

Last thing we're going to do together.

Let's go.

You are so close now.

Let's go together.

Keep it going.

Last breath hold coming up.

It's the full minute.

Do your best to make it all the way through.

This is the prep.

Alright,

Here we go.

Big exhale out.

Into that breath hold.

Find that peace.

Find that calm.

Begin to enjoy this internal environment you've just created.

Alright,

Good job.

That recovery breath is just around the corner.

In 3,

2,

1,

Inhale.

Hold and enjoy.

Congratulations.

Very impressive stuff.

You've earned this rewarding recovery breath.

Now exhale it out.

Go back to your normal breathing.

Safe in the knowledge.

You've done some good for your body today.

As well as for your mind and your soul.

When you're ready to try a little bit more.

You know where to find me.

We got more tracks and we got intermediate and advanced versions of this.

It's my pleasure as always to take you through this.

And I hope to see you soon.

Encouraging you to breathe well and live well.

Namaste.

You
