The breath, like the beating heart, is one of the few constants that is with us through the entirety of our lives.
•
We take upwards 24,000 breaths a day; if I’m doing the math correctly, that means we’ll take as many as 600,000-700,000 million in a lifetime.
•
That’s a lot of breaths.
•
I talk an awful lot about breathing in both my treatment space with patients and in the studio space with folks who come to practice yoga.
•
That is because I have come to know that even a little focus on the breath most often leads to positive changes in the body and the mind.
•
If learning about the breath is intriguing to you, stick around as I share some breath-related content over the next couple weeks.
•
Consider that content a primer for my March 12th live, virtual Breathing Explained Masterclass. It is geared toward health care providers, coaches, teachers, or anyone else who would like to do a deep dive of the breath and walk away with a handful of breath work strategies for a daily practice. Info can be found in my bio or in my stories.
•
That will kick off an on-going, live (in-person or virtual) breath work offering on Fridays at noon - details forthcoming.
•
In the meantime, lengthen long through your spine, inhale slowly and completely through the nose, and sigh a big exhale out the mouth.
•
How did that feel?
