During our sessions, you'll be guided through simple body movements to prepare for a successful seated breathing practice, explore various breathing techniques highlighted in the book, and gain valuable insights into the anatomy of the respiratory system and the autonomic nervous system. We’ll also have Q&A sessions woven throughout.
