Hey,
Welcome to another breath away practice with me,
Doug.
Today,
We're doing two types of breathing.
We're gonna do Kalabhati breathing,
Which is short,
Sharp exhales through the nostrils.
Sounds like this.
Then we'll be doing alkaline breathing in the second round.
Sounds like this.
Just inhales through the nostrils,
Exhales through the mouth.
The last round,
We'll do a combination of the two.
Each round,
You'll do normal speed,
Then double speed.
I'll give you an opportunity to hold your breath at the end and those rounds will have one minute breath hold,
Then a minute 15,
Then a minute 30.
But in the last round,
You can get an opportunity to do 145,
Two minutes,
And even 215.
Lots of opportunity.
Look after yourself,
Breathe when you need to,
And let's have a good time.
Starting with Kalabhati breathing.
Here we go.
Let's go.
Just those forceful exhales through the nostrils.
Use my breath as a guide.
Use the beat as a guide.
Feel free to move with this,
Enjoy it.
Nice and forceful.
Exhale out,
Let the diaphragm snap back to the navel.
All right,
We're gonna switch it up to double speed.
Ready?
Let's go.
Okay,
Faster now.
You got it.
Really warming up that diaphragm.
Letting the inhale take care of itself.
Great work.
Coming up onto the end of this first round.
Last breath.
Straight into a breath hold now.
Just enjoy what it's like to have no air.
Feel that floating feeling.
Notice any tingling in the body.
Notice how strong and resilient you are.
Enjoy this freedom from breath.
All right,
Get ready,
Recovery breath in three,
Two,
One.
Hold.
Enjoy that recovery.
And exhale.
Good work.
Back to normal breathing for a moment.
Second round now,
We're gonna do alkaline breathing.
You know the deal,
In through the nostrils,
Out through the mouth,
Normal speed,
Then double speed.
Get ready.
Let's go.
Make sure these are nice,
Big breaths on the inhale.
I know you're inhaling through the nostrils,
But really use that diaphragm.
Push the ribs out,
Push the back out,
Push the belly forward.
All right,
You're doing great.
Get ready,
We're gonna switch it up to double speed.
Here we go.
So even though it's quicker,
We'll keep those big breaths going.
Quick breaths,
But big breaths.
Nicely done.
Getting into it now.
All right,
Keep it up,
Keep it up.
Last few.
Last in,
And out straight into that breath hold.
Slightly longer now.
Got a minute 15,
Nothing to worry about.
Notice if you're a little bit lightheaded,
That's okay.
Notice if you have tingles,
That's okay.
Notice if your temperature is changing.
Guess what?
That too is okay.
Enjoy this freedom from breath.
And just see if each round you can just get used to that discomfort a little bit more.
You're doing such a great job,
Just keep it up.
Fast approaching that recovery breath.
Stay with me.
Here we go.
Three,
Two,
One,
Inhale.
And hold.
Oh,
It's juicy,
Isn't it?
And exhale out.
Notice how you're feeling.
Go back to normal breathing.
And get ready,
One last round,
A mixture of the two breaths.
You got this.
Let's go.
Starting with this Kalabhati breathing.
Nice and forceful,
That diaphragm getting a workout.
Controlling our breath,
Controlling our mind.
Double time.
Well versed at this now.
Each breath getting a little bit stronger,
A little bit more resilient.
All right,
Let's switch it up,
Alkaline breathing.
Remember,
Key to alkaline breathing,
Big breaths.
Expand in 360 degrees.
Enjoy that air.
Double speed.
Yeah,
Now go with the beat.
Go with the breath.
Let that body move if you want.
Dance with that music.
Last one.
Dance with that music.
Last one.
Exhale straight into that breath hold.
This is our longest one yet.
Plenty of opportunity here to feel something new.
I'm not gonna call the recovery breath,
But when you feel the need to breathe,
That's when you start to breathe.
Make sure you start with that recovery breath of 10 seconds.
And then you can choose to hold your breath again or just go back to normal breathing.
Just enjoy it.
Enjoy this new sensation you put yourself into.
Enjoy all the communication with your body.
Stay away from thinking,
Is it good or is it bad?
Just enjoy it.
A new sensation,
A new feeling in the body,
A new way for you to test yourself.
What are you made of?
What can you truly accomplish?
All those answers lie right here,
Right now.
And if you have to breathe early,
Guess what?
It doesn't matter.
You come back tomorrow,
You practice again.
And with time,
It'll all get better.
One minute 30.
Good job.
Hold if you want.
Get used to that feeling.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
One minute 45.
Woo!
Still with me?
If not,
You know what?
It's all good.
We try again.
If you are,
Next stop,
Two minutes.
Let's see if you can get there.
Two minutes.
That's a big one.
All right,
2.
15,
Last available option for today.
See how it feels.
Can you stay with me just a few more moments?
Two minutes 15.
Oh my goodness,
Well done.
Hey,
Look,
Whatever amount of time you did,
You did a great job.
As always,
I'm proud of you.
And it's great to have you here for another breathwork practice.
