Slowing the Breath

15 min

Best for: anxiety that resists deep breathing

Most apps tell you to take a deep breath when anxiety rises. This session takes a different approach, rather than overriding your breath, you'll learn to widen the bank of the river so the water passes with more room. A practice in small loosening for a body that has been holding for too long.
