Day 5 • Intro to Pranayama
Welcome to the world of pranayama—conscious breathing techniques that strengthen your physical capacity to breathe while calming your mind and nervous system. In today’s lesson, the first video introduces the concept of pranayama and explores its anatomical foundations, while the second video guides you through an in-depth practice of the Two-Part Diaphragmatic Breath, a fundamental technique that supports both relaxation and re-energizing.
To keep today’s lesson under 30 minutes—and because you’ll already be engaging in so much conscious breathing—there is no required meditation for today. However, you are always welcome to revisit a meditation from a previous day if you feel inspired. Namaste!
