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!
