The magic with our breath is that it functions automatically - we don't have to think about it. But sometimes, our breathing patterns aren't doing us any favors.
Our bodies can pick up habits of breathing that we're not even aware of, adding unnecessary challenges.

Change up your breathing style, and you've got the power to switch your physical, mental and emotional state within minutes, if not seconds.

Take a powerful pause - and breathe
Discover the immense health benefits of slowing down your breath. The key to energizing yourself lies in a simple piece of knowledge.
By inhaling less, extending exhales or holding your breath, the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) increase in your body. This triggers the release of oxygen (O2) from the blood to the cells.
One can say, "Oxygen fuels your cells with energy."When you inhale more than exhaling or pausing, it is called over-breathing. This results in an excess of oxygen, and less is released from the blood to the cells.
Take a pause and let your body's wisdom boost your energy, well-being and health.
