Pranayama or breath practices are a powerful way to get into our bodies and release trauma and also a way to calm anxiety and panic attacks. When we are in a traumatic situation or suffering from trauma or anxiety, we breathe shallow, short, small breaths. By working with the breath in multiple ways - 3 part breath/diaphragmatic breathing, box breath/sama vritti, nadi shodhana/alternate nostril breathing, and bhramari/humming bee breath - you will learn many ways to help you settle, ground, and release trauma from your body.
Great used together or by themselves for soothing, calming, and centering...perfect to use daily for prevention and deeper breaths overall to release tension and tightness from trauma and anxiety.
