As a yogi, you may consider yourself a breathwork expert. But my BFF Samantha Skelly wants you to experience the power of breathwork as its own vital modality that’s distinct and separate from your yoga or movement practice. Sam educates us on the difference between integrative and meditative breathwork, the four main breathing patterns she teaches at Pause Breathwork and how to increase our breathing stamina.

Nerd out with us on:

🔹Why breathing through the mouth can be good

🔹How to approach rigorous breathwork if you have high vata and/or trauma

🔹The distinct stages of a 30-min breathwork practice

In this episode, I share some of my own deep resistance to breathwork as well as how I’ve cheated (yes!) in some of Sam’s breathwork sessions. Experience loving guidance and troubleshooting tips. Listen in!
