Feeling stressed, tense, anxious? Pausing to reconnect with our breath is one of the most effective ways to shift energy out of our overbusy minds and ground ourselves back in the body, to rediscover and open up more space, to reconnect with our inner calm. In today's gentle breathwork (or pranayama) practice, we'll be working with belly breathing and optionally moving into dirga pranayama, also known as three-part yogic breath. Both are simple, gentle breath patterns that we can work with seated or lying down – deeply grounding practices that are impactful whether we're new to breathwork or experienced practitioners.
