This guided pranayama practice is intended to support you in slowing down, calming the nervous system and releasing anxiety. David guides the whole sequence where we INHALE 4 seconds / HOLD 4 seconds / EXHALE 6 seconds / HOLD 2 seconds ... and repeat. Each round lasts around 2 - 3 minutes and we repeat it 3 times. As this technique includes holding the breath, it is not appropriate for pregnant women or those suffering from high blood pressure.
