Episode 36 - BREATHE BETTER, LIVE LONGER with Breath Work Expert Niraj Naik
Are you in a low vibrational state? Is your breath compromised by stress? Renegade pharmacist, breath work expert Niraj Naik offers advice and exercises to bring balance and harmony back in your body & mind with breathing exercises. You’ll learn about the benefits of breath types (reduced breathing, breath holds, nose breathing, diaphragm/belly breathing), the root lock, and the power of guided rhythmic breathing meditation.
​
The quality of every breath we take matters! It’s quite miraculous that we humans breathe without making a conscious effort, and our breath adapts to all circumstances: eating, sleeping, exercising, etc. Did you know that shallow breathing can negatively affect our health (and the opposite is true too.)
​
When you learn to breathe better you can slow down, reverse the aging process, and improve your health.
