Reset your nervous system and dissolve tension with this stress-targeted session. A medium pace and steady rhythm help shift your body from fight-or-flight into calm.
Deep rhythmic breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which activates your parasympathetic nervous system and lowers cortisol production. The focused breath holds give your racing mind a single point of attention, breaking the cycle of stress and rumination.
Reach for this session after a tense workday, before a stressful event, or anytime you feel overwhelmed. Three rounds at a measured pace takes about 15 minutes and is enough to noticeably lower your heart rate and calm your thoughts.
