How to Improve Your Heart Rate Variability

Different forms of breathwork can be selected based on individual needs and preferences. For individuals needing to improve force on exhale, practices like Wim Hof breathing can be beneficial. On the other hand, individuals struggling with hyperventilation may benefit from nasal breathing. Heart rate variability can be used as a self-quantifying method to assess sympathetic-parasympathetic balance and guide the choice between stimulatory or relaxing forms of breathwork. HRV changes following intense workouts can indicate the need for specific breathwork practices. If intense exercise increases HRV, more stimulatory breathwork like Wim Hof breathing may be beneficial. Conversely, if a decrease in HRV is observed due to factors like lack of sleep, relaxation techniques such as meditation and nasal breathing may be more suitable.
