From the Publisher
"Our breath is what helps us feel calm, energized, and at peace. It supports our body’s natural healing systems... But breathing has many benefits beyond giving us life. Breathing is one of the best ways our body knows how to relax and lower our stress response."
"These are the practices you want to call upon when you’re feeling low energy or need to focus, find inspiration, or shake out stagnant energies—especially if you’ve been sitting all day. All of these practices are super fun and are created to help you feel more free!"
"When we move our body and connect it with our breath, we give ourselves access to incredible feel-good hormones that help us feel better and clear out stagnant energy"
"You might notice a change in your sleep patterns after keeping up with a consistent nighttime breathwork routine. Even if you still sleep the same number of hours, you’ll notice a different quality in your sleep."
"Relaxation and grounding techniques are all about helping you come back to your body in the midst of a busy and active day...Relaxation practices are all relative to what helps you feel relaxed."
