Breath Work and Pranayama
Find you calm through these very simple breathing practices. You can sit or lie down whatever feels more comfy. The first is a ratio breathing exercise. You'll be breathing In for 4, holding for 2, breathing out for 6 and holding the breath out for 2. If the count feels too much just breathe in for 3 and out for 5 instead. Work up towards the 4:6 ratio with practice. Then relax into the moment and rest into your breathe as I guide you though a simple breathing meditation.
This breathing exercise helps to increase lung capacity and efficiency. Encouraging the breath into the different lobes of your lungs, lower, middle and upper lobes with the help of hand/arm movements. Feel the depth and the breadth of your breath (and your life) as you breath!
A breathing technique which expands the length of the breath and increases lung capacity. An interrupted (or against the grain) breathing technique where we add pauses to the in-breath first and then to the out-breath. Regulating the breath which helps to sooth the nervous system and find focus in your mind.
