Chest Breathing Before Practice
About this class
Make each practice extra productive with this chest breathing exercise that will improve your focus and performance.
You know what's better and more effective than practice? Practice when you're in the most relaxed, open, and focused state of mind. Doing this breathwork exercise right before practice will help you get there. By breathing deeply and slowly, feeling the rise and fall of your chest with each breath, you will relax your nervous system and get out of your mind.
