In this 60-minute session, we awaken our inner SOMA, reaching deep into our core selves. We hold our breath longer and go beyond our limits. This practice encourages openness on all levels - mental, emotional, and physical. Be receptive to whatever experiences come your way in this practice, and enjoy the rhythm of your breath, knowing that you've tapped into something powerful inside you.
 
During the rhythmic breathing phases, sync your breath with the beat of the music and follow the guidance. The 4x4 and 2x2 rhythmic breathing technique has numerous benefits:
 
 
Regulates heart rhythm, increasing heart rate variability (HRV), which is tied to reducing stress and improving overall heart health.
Balances the nervous system.
Increases coherence between the heart and brain and reduces anxiety.
Leads to present-moment awareness.
 
During the breathholds, first exhale all the air out and hold your breath. (Remember to be particularly cautious with this technique). Then, inhale fully and hold again until you are ready to release all the air and relax. This powerful technique offers the following benefits: 
 
Strengthens the cardiovascular system, improving blood flow to organs and tissues.
Stimulates the production of red blood cells, improving oxygen delivery to tissues.
Reduces stress and anxiety levels by activating the body's relaxation response.
Enhances awareness and control over breathing patterns.
Improves endurance during physical activities.
 
Perform this practice for 7 days after completing Awakening I and II.
 
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN BREATHWORK, PLEASE AVOID HOLDING YOUR BREATH AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON YOUR HEALTH. INSTEAD, BREATHE NORMALLY BETWEEN THE RHYTHMIC BREATHING SECTIONS OF THE SESSION.
