Join Zakiya for an intro to Coherent Breathing - a breathing practice to regulate your mind & body. Coherent breathing is a steady breath of six counts on the inhale and the exhale. You can do this to chimes. This stable breathing pattern helps your autonomic nervous system to find balance by activating “flight or fight” (sympathetic nervous system) and “rest and digest” (parasympathetic nervous system) in a consistent and controlled way. When we breathe in this stable way, our heart rate synchronises with our breath, which can bring on a state of inner calm. Your body can feel the benefits from a single practice within minutes, and if practised consistently over time, the feeling of being emotionally balanced can filter out of practice and into your everyday life.
If you have any questions about this practice or the journey, please get in touch at [email protected].
We've curated a list of mental health resources, know that you are not alone and please reach out to a trusted person or organisation if you need support. https://www.mindwalkyoga.org/mental-health-resources
