A great way to reduce stress is to simply focus on the breath. Dirga Pranayama is a yogic breathing exercise focusing on deep and intentional breath control. This involves an expansion through the belly, followed by the ribs and lastly, the chest, creating space around the heart. By practicing this breathing technique, we begin to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging the rest and digesting response from the body. *If you are pregnant or have asthma, please consult your general practitioner before practicing this meditation.
