About this listen

Today, Eli and Inga wrap up their four-week discussion on the breath and its importance in yoga and general health.

They discuss some of the key takeaways from the previous episodes, including the fact that taking deep breaths is not necessarily better and that carbon dioxide is crucial to the effective use of oxygen in the body.

They also emphasize the importance of holding one's breath and explain why it's a technique that should be practiced more often.

Inga leads listeners through a practical exercise to measure their sensitivity to carbon dioxide buildup, and they discuss how this can be used to increase one's tolerance to carbon dioxide and improve physical and mental health.

Overall, the episode aims to help listeners achieve a better and healthier life through a better understanding of the yogic perspective on breathing.
