Description: Resonance Breathing Level 1: 4-2-4-2

- Inhale through the nose for a count of 4.
- Hold the breath for a count of 2.
- Exhale through the nose for a count of 4. 
- Hold the breath again for a count of 2.

Resonance breathing is a form of slow diaphragmatic breathing designed to increase parasympathetic nervous system activity and calm the fight-or-flight response. Studies suggest that this breathing pattern (typically around 6 breaths per minute) can improve Heart Rate Variability, increase vagal nerve tone, and support the circulatory system. 

Find a relaxed position, seated, standing, or lying down. Place your right hand on your chest and your left on your belly. When you inhale, ideally you want your left hand to be moving the most, expanding the belly, ribcage, and then chest in 3 dimensions.

Consult your physician before performing breathwork drills and never perform breathing exercises or breath holds when operating heavy machinery or near a body of water.

The Deep Squat: Hip Mobility Practice

Very good but confusing on squat and push-up progression.. I’m assuming you do three rounds of wherever you are at rather than all three at once?  Can’t progress that fast!!!
