  • Do three rounds of breathwork with 30 breaths each morning, preferably outside regardless of weather.
  • This routine will significantly enhance your health and lifestyle if practiced consistently.

  • Use both nose and mouth for breathing; just ensure to get air in deeply.
INSIGHT

Body's Demand for Oxygen

  • Breathwork benefits come when the body demands oxygen, not just by hyperventilating.
  • The body needs to be in a state that encourages oxygen absorption, similar to nutrient uptake in muscles and bones.
