Pranayama and Yogic Breathing

Overview

This video offers a step-by-step guided breathing session based on the Wim Hof Method, designed for beginners. The instructor leads viewers through three rounds of controlled breathing involving deep inhalations, exhalations, and breath holds. The session emphasizes relaxation, body awareness, and rhythmic breathing without pauses between breaths.

Each round includes:

• Deep, circular breaths focusing on the belly and chest
• Breath holds lasting from one to one and a half minutes
• Recovery breaths held for 15 seconds
• Encouragement to notice bodily sensations such as heartbeat, tingling, and temperature changes

Participants are invited to pause the video to extend breath holds as desired and to gradually return to normal breathing at the end. The session aims to help users relax deeply and connect with their body's capabilities.
