Daily Breathing Practice
The video below will support you in balancing your nervous system. When you sign up to the Yoga Breathing Course you will gain access to additional video and audio practices within an app designed to either balance, stimulate or calm your nervous system depending on your nervous system’s needs.
Always check with your doctor before beginning any breathing program. If you are pregnant, suffering from any type of respiratory illness, or taking medications, please ensure your doctor approves of breathing exercises before you begin.

Balanced Breathing (4-6 breaths per minute)
Engaging in 4-6 breaths per minute through Balanced Breathing has an adaptogenic impact on your nervous system. Whether you find yourself on an energetic high or a bit down, this practice can bring equilibrium. You can incorporate Water Breathing Practices into your routine whether you're standing, seated, or lying down. Much like sipping a glass of water, it remains consistently safe, suitable, and healthful whenever you need it.
