SIMPLE BREATH WORK
Please watch the video first to understand correct technique for these two very simple methods of breath work, which can be done anywhere, at any time, with as little as two minutes. Yes, that’s all you need to feel the positive effects!
Here’s a reminder of the important bits to remember:
• Sit upright so that your lungs have space to expand - you can support your back against a wall or a chair but make sure that your shoulders are stacked directlyabove your hips - no leaning back or slouching
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and still, and breathe into your belly
• Don’t tense up when you hold the breath
Once you’ve watched the video you can move on to using the audios as an in-the moment guide for doing your breath work.
