Tap into the powerful practice of pranayama, or breathwork. More than just ‘breath control’, pranayama allows you to impact the flow of prana in your body, your mood, wellness and hormones. And with so many techniques, it’s an effective but easy ritual to incorporate into your cycle syncing practice. We chat: 

_what is prana

_what the practice of pranayama means

_how prana and breath are linked to our health (including our mood)

_a quick test to see if you’re breathing optimally

_how pranayama can help your hormones

_a pranayama practice for each phase of your cycle and why it helps

If you’re in need of less ‘fight or flight’ and more ‘rest and digest’ this episode is for you. After seeing like 1000 posts about the vagus nerve on social media, my bestie suggested I do an episode on it and I’m so excited to share this with you. (btw, if you have a topic suggestion, let me know! DM me at @theanythingglowspodcast). We chat: 

_what it is, what it’s responsible for

_why it’s associated with feeling calm

_how it explains the why emotions get stored in the body

_ways to support it through pranayama, specific asanas (yoga poses), posture and more

If you’re in need of some dedicated vagus nerve supporting time, book a 30 minute, virtual mindfulness session with me or purchase a custom meditation made just for you.
