Guided Practice 3: Ascending Pyramid
Welcome back team! This weeks Ohm Breath Academy (OBA) practice has a few different elements to it including cyclic breathing and breath holds after exhalation. Remember - It's all about rhythm and relaxation. The more you can consciously soften and relax your body (especially during the breath holds) , the more benefit you will receive from the practice. Feel the rhythm and let it flow! Please comment and let everyone know what your experience with this practice was like... It will help our community of breathers GROW :) BONUS POLL: How long was your final exhale breath hold?

@Marlou Schellinx Thank you for saying :) The yawn is a signal from your brain to "give me more oxygen please". How did you do with the final set of 30 sec?

@Ben Brailsford glad you enjoyed mate! To feel great acutely in the moment is one thing, but to allow presence to become our default state of mind is the ultimate goal.

Guided Practice 4: Contrast
Hello again my fellow breathers, this week I am introducing a very important idea that we will no doubt revisit in the future. The idea of ‘Contrast Training’ in this environment relates to 2 core components that we must understand: 1. Mechanical Aspects of Breath Training 2. Physiological Aspects of Breath Training Please let the questions flow for anything you don’t understand and go over to the education tab to watch the review video on the subject. Meanwhile, I have another poll for you all 😉 What is more important to train?

Guided Practice 2: The Cyclic 5
Hello team! Here is a simple yet profound technique that is foundational to improving your breath awareness and control. We are aiming to extend each nasal inhale and exhale to 5 seconds - this is the basis for achieving an OPTIMAL physiological state. It is relatively easy to maintain when focusing on a guided practice like this, but to maintain this rhythm throughout the rest of the day/ week/ year is where the real game begins. We will dive deeper into the science and practice of breath holds as we progress. Come back to this technique as often as you can. Practice it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. And of course relax, have fun and enjoy the process!

Introductory QUESTIONS for Everyone
Hello there my fellow breathers, I have 3 simple questions for you all: 1. Have you practiced breathing as a trainable skill before? Or is this the first time? 2. What are the things you have the most difficulty with when it comes to learning how to breathe or practicing breathing? 3. What is your WHY? Why are you wanting to learn how to breathe? BONUS: Where are you from and how's the weather ;)

@Katie Breese Welcome to the family mate! 1. Awesome, most people are quite new to practicing breathing so that's very normal. The more we as humans learn to treat it as a trainable skill the better. 2. Less is more when it comes to 'thinking' how fast or slow to breathe, you will naturally gain more awareness and control as we practice. The more we strengthen our diaphragm the slower our breathing will become. 3. BINGO. Learning to habitually extend the length of the breath cycle (inhale : exhale) will provide the down-regulation, although there are deeper aspects of breathing science we will have to consider, including pressure and systemic tension. 4. Fascinating journey! We are lucky to have you on board. Welcome Katie :)

@Ben Brailsford Welcome to the Ohm mate! Looking forward to exploring the science and practice of breathing with you. There definitely can be jargon and buzz words but I will do my best to explain everything simply and clearly. Habituation and creating a routine is vital - A great place to start when developing breath awareness + control is first thing in the morning and last thing at night. We can dig into this deeper as we go!
