Calm Breathwork | Strengthen Your Relaxation Response
A guided diaphragmatic breathwork practice to calm your body, quiet your mind, and return to a felt sense of peace. Using a three-part breath, which involves expanding through the abdomen, ribs, and chest, this practice gently stimulates the vagus nerve and supports your body’s natural relaxation response.
When practiced regularly, this breath strengthens vagal tone, helping you move through life with greater ease, presence, and inner steadiness.
This practice is ideal for moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or whenever you want to return home to your body.
