Day 2

Welcome to the 2nd day!

During this session we will be doing the one minute breath. To do this you inhale for 5, hold for 5 and then exhale for 5. We will be gradually adding seconds to the holds as we progress. If the breath hold seems to long for you, you can always ignore my count and do your own.

It helps to be as relaxed as possible for this breath, so that you can deepen and lengthen your breath as much as possible.

If you are pregnant I recommend doing your own count so that you hold the breath for no longer than 5 second or you can skip this session altogether.

The One Minute Breath helps to focus the mind, improves lung capacity, minimises mental chatter, improves sense of well-being, boosts mood and improves sleep.

The one minute breath

This breath is one of my favourite techniques to use to focus the mind. Other benefits include increased stamina, reduced anxiety, decreased heart rate, improved quality of sleep and enhanced lung function.
