Description

When we practice yogic breathing, we can either up-regulate, down-regulate or balance our nervous system. In different situations, all three can be valuable, but for whatever reason, balanced breathing practices are not taught or practiced as often as they should be—and they are extremely useful.
In this mini-bonus class, you'll learn the simple practice of 4x4 breathing as Lucas leads you through a shorted, seated practice.
You'll Learn:

How to use a 1-to-1 ratio for balancing your nervous system
How to reduce your breathing rate by 1/2 or even 1/4 to find balance
How to reduce your heart rate and increate your heart rate variability in a matter of minutes
How to dramatically shift your outlook on the day with 10 rounds of breath

 
NOTE: this practice is 100% safe and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds at any time of the day—except while driving.
