Yo,
What is up?
Good morning.
This is your advanced breathe to the beat,
The perfect way to get your day started.
Now,
Advanced just means you're going to get an opportunity to hold your breath up to two minutes,
But we're going to do it over three rounds to make sure you're nice and warm by the time we come to that.
Now,
The types of breathing you're going to be doing are Kalabhati breathing,
Forceful exhales through the nostrils.
They sound like this.
Then we have alkaline breathing,
Inhaling through the nostrils,
Exhaling through the mouth like this.
That's it.
We do one round of one,
One round of the other,
And then a nice mashup,
Mix up of the two.
All right,
I think you're just about ready.
Here we go.
Starting with that Kalabhati breathing in three,
Two,
One,
Let's go.
Using this first bit of time just to get acquainted with the rhythm,
Getting used to breathing with the beat.
That diaphragm nicely warming up.
All right,
We're going to switch to double speed in three,
Two,
One,
Let's go.
I know it's harder,
Just stay with it though.
You'll soon get used to it.
All right,
We're going to switch back.
Well done.
Single time.
All right,
You're doing great.
We're going to switch to double speed one more time in three,
Two,
One,
Let's go.
All right,
Last few seconds of this.
Keep it going.
Keep that diaphragm moving and straight into your exhale,
Breath hold.
As always,
Just enjoy that juxtaposition between frantic breathing and now total relaxation.
Let that whole body just calm down.
Enjoy the peace,
Enjoy the tranquility.
All right,
That's about halfway.
Remember,
Conserve energy by relaxing the whole body.
All right,
Coming up on that recovery breath in three,
Two,
One,
Breathe in.
Beautiful.
Hold.
Let that air replenish you.
Exhale out.
Very nice.
And get ready for round two,
Alkaline breathing.
Let's go.
Just get used to this new pattern.
Settle in.
Enjoy it.
Nice big breaths.
Relaxing through that exhale.
Good job.
It's okay if you feel a bit warmer because of this.
Very natural.
Your body getting used to this new pattern of breathing,
This new influx of oxygen.
Just enjoy it.
In fact,
Let's get a little bit more with double time.
All right,
Now we're talking,
Right?
Now you most definitely will feel an increase in temperature now.
Stick with me with this breathing.
Nice long break coming up.
And this really is the perfect prep for this long breath hold.
All right,
So close.
Close.
Here we go.
Three,
Two,
One,
Big inhale and exhale out.
Good job.
Enjoy the peace,
The tranquility.
It's like being underwater.
Nothing can get to you.
Just let your body be how it wants to be.
Just enjoy the different sensations that come up in this breath hold.
Again,
About halfway there.
Great time to check in with the body,
See if everything is relaxed,
Your shoulders,
Your face,
Your hands,
Your feet.
No need to do anything.
Just be.
All right,
Recovery breath coming in.
Hold and enjoy.
Breathe out any tension and let's get ready for round three.
Kalabhati breathing.
Three,
Two,
One.
Nice and familiar with this style.
Get that rhythm sorted.
Now let's go double time.
Good work.
Now you're cruising.
All right,
You're doing great.
Keep it up.
Last bit of work and then a lovely long breath hold.
Okay,
Good job.
Let's switch to alkaline breathing.
Let's go.
Back to those big breaths.
Relax on the exhale.
Breathe in the goodness for the day.
Exhale any negativity.
Enjoy what a miracle it is to be alive,
What a miracle it is to breathe.
To take this air from outside and turn it into energy.
How does that even work?
Let's go double time.
All right,
This is your final sprint to the end.
Stay with me.
Keep going.
Keep that rhythm.
Keep that intensity.
All right,
You are cruising now.
Very close to the end.
Getting prepped for that beautiful breath hold.
That time for just you,
Your mind,
Your body,
All connecting as one.
This is how we prep it.
This is the fire we have to go through first.
All right,
Final few.
Good job.
Deep inhale and exhale.
You have two minutes breath hold,
All for yourself.
I'm not going to bother you with any motivation.
This is time for you to reflect on you and your body.
Just keep it relaxed.
Keep it playful and enjoy.
Get ready,
That recovery breath.
Well done.
Enjoy that feeling of triumph.
Let your body soak up all that good air.
And get ready.
Exhale it all out.
All right,
That is our time up together.
I hope you're feeling good.
I hope you're feeling ready to take on the day.
Whatever lays ahead of you,
Safe in the knowledge that you are an incredible individual,
Capable of way more than you give yourself credit for.
So go out and make today your own.
I'm rooting for you.
Until next time,
Namaste.
