THE BIG DEAL

Once again breathwork is demonstrated to promote positive changes in the autonomic nervous system such as increased Heart Rate Variability.

WHY IT MATTERS

As noted by the authors, “psychological/behavioral outputs related to the abovementioned changes are increased comfort, relaxation, pleasantness, vigor and alertness, and reduced symptoms of arousal, anxiety, depression, anger, and confusion.”

TAKEAWAYS

In XPT Performance Breathing, we never leave the Foundation techniques behind, such as the Balance Breath, practiced in a variety of tempos.  Make slow breathing, with proper biomechanics, a part of your everyday routine to derive the greatest health and performance benefits.

Always go back to the basics and always practice with refined technique.
