Ratio breathing. Breathing in for 1, holding for 4, breathing out for 2. This gentle, mindful breathing practice allows us to take longer, slower breaths to feel calm. This guided breathing is part of the Remembering class, when we practice pausing in stillness and remember the goodness in our hearts.

3 washing breaths to close as we let go
My voice guiding 3 slow breaths, and a close of any movement practice.
Letting go with Kapalabahti
This rapid nostril breathing can be a great way to free up space in the diaphragm. Also known as breath of fire or skull shining breath, it is best practised in the morning, and becomes more beneficial the more familiar it feels.
Getting familiar with the home within to close
My voice guiding us in to our bodies, so we can feel familiar with the unchanging place within. A moment to pause before closing, as we begin our day.
Let's move to standing, then pause
My voice guiding you to your feet, then we pause silently together. This works well before music you enjoy moving your whole body to.
Good morning let's breathe
My voice welcoming you in to the day, inviting sama vritti pranayama (equal part breathing) to a slow count in and out for 4. Then some silence. This track then can lead on to some gentle flowing music, that feel good to start some movement of the upper part of the body.
