Hello and welcome to this guided breathwork practice.
My name is Brooklyn.
I'm a licensed therapist and a yoga teacher.
And today we're going to practice the physiological sigh,
Which is a two part inhale,
One part exhale.
This is a great breathwork practice when you want a little bit of a boost and can be helpful for kind of clearing out that brain fog and giving you a little bit of motivation to get your day started.
So this will look like two inhales and one long exhale.
We'll inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
And I will just show you what this will look like before we practice together.
So we'll begin with taking one inhale in,
A second,
And exhale.
And we'll move through a few rounds of that just finding our rhythm.
Already I feel a little bit of energy moving through my body.
So let's get started.
Getting into a comfortable seated position.
I have a cushion underneath my seat here for support.
And you can start to soften your gaze looking down and forward or close your eyes all together.
Whatever helps you feel more at ease,
More relaxed.
And just bringing your attention to your breath.
Maybe starting to lend in your inhale.
In your exhale.
Just taking a few rounds here,
Just warming up the lungs for our practice today.
Taking one more inhale.
Exhale,
Let it go.
And we'll begin our practice breathing in.
Once more,
Let it go.
3 more rounds.
And then softening the breast.
Maybe noticing.
Where the energy is alive in your body.
I feel it in my head,
My face.
Down my arms into my hands.
Just observing,
Taking note.
Noticing what's shifted and what feels the same.
And just letting your breath relax,
Returning to its natural rhythm.
Whenever you're ready,
You can blink your eyes open.
Hopefully you feel a little bit of energy in your body to help get you started for your day.
Thank you so much for taking the time for yourself and for practicing with me.
And I hope to see you again soon.
