How do you ideally breathe during your (vinyasa or hatha) yoga practice? Many get the guidance to breathe voluminous, effortful, and noisy breaths with strong engagement and tension in the abdominal area. In this episode, I talk about the benefits of breathing calmly, diaphragmatically, and rhythmically, but with less volume and noise. Enjoy!

Pausing the breath can be a peaceful moment - but many experience it as suffocation and have a strong reaction - physically, mentally, and emotionally. This can drastically affect the way we experience our day. If the body has no capacity to calmly notice higher levels of carbon dioxide or to sustain a momentary breath hold (whether voluntarily or involuntary), anytime our nervous system is triggered, we will have an overshooting fight/flight response which makes it much harder to stay...

We release Carbon dioxide (CO2) when we breathe and our body is set up to prevent too high levels of this gas. However, we need a balanced level - not too high, not too low - for the body to work optimally. That's because the right levels of Carbon dioxide come with plenty of benefits such as anti-inflammatory qualities, open airways and blood vessels, relaxed muscles a calm nervous system, and increased oxygen supply to tissues, including the brain. Listen to this episode and learn about...

Systems of breathing give you a clear set of tools or techniques and defined steps to apply them. Principles of breathing are general conditions, alignment cues, qualities, or mechanics, that support an efficient breathing process and can be applied to almost any moment, system, or condition. Systems of breathing (just like systems of movement, eating, communication, therapy...) come with many benefits. But we also tend to discuss or even fight over which is best. But when we understand...

Is there a way we can use our breathing to remain calm even in stressful situations? You may have gotten the advice before to "just breathe", whenever you are in a demanding situation. However, in reality, it will be almost impossible to think about breathing let alone change our breathing pattern when we are already under pressure. The reason it doesn't work is that we never practice our breathing patterns or know how to shift them to feel better. That's where breath snacks come in. By...

Breathing is life. Without breathing we die within minutes. But we rarely look at the quality of our breathing. Yet, how we breathe deeply affects us physically, emotionally, and mentally. With breathwork getting more popular, people want to practice breathing but often use singled-out techniques which limit the benefits drastically. In today's episode, I give an introduction to why breathing is so relevant to improving anything in life and why it's best to improve the 3 pillars of...
