Day 9 Up Regulation
Find Your Breath

14m
Up regulation breath training is about the spark and the fire. When I feel lethargic, battling my inner critic, a little depressed or my mindset doesn't align with my get to/need to/want to/will, I up regulate to re-align myself.
An up regulated breath is expanding the inhale (fill all the way up), holding that energy and fire, and leaving the exhale to the body. The essence of a soft body, full breath practice. This breath technique is the introduction to super oxygenation.
There is energy and life within our breath. This energy is there even when you don't feel it. Feeling the full expansion of the inhale, the increased heart rate of the hold, and the soft, calming effect of the exhale can help reframe anxiety to excitement or tiredness to energized.
Find your breath, find your flow.
