Christmas Coherence Breath - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 10 min

A very long out breath as a holiday reset for grounding amid Christmas stress. A martial arts story of doing a whole roll set on one out breath shows how exhaling grounds the body, and the breath's pressure on the dorsal vagal is said to wake the parasympathetic system. Short practice rounds follow.
