A guided humming breath practice with Yoga With Adriene to find calm, release tension and soothe the nervous system.
Yoga With Adriene teaches Bhramari Pranayama, or bee breath, where a low-pitched hum helps stimulate the vagus nerve and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. It eases tension, anxiety and frustration, yet can also be playful for all ages. You can practice lying on your back or side, it is described as suitable in pregnancy, and the video runs about 11 minutes.
