Breath stacking is a technique that is often used to help people with breathing issues build strength and space in their lungs and breathing muscles. It is also encouraged for people recovering from Covid 19. This technique involves 'stacking' the inhales, taking in a little more air than usual, to expand the lungs and the ribcage

In mindfulness, there is a distinction made between two states of mind - the doing mode and the being mode. The doing mode is characterised by problem solving and activity. The being mode is a state of mind where we allow things to be as they are. Both are important, but if we spent too much time in the doing mode it can be draining, and it is often not the best way to support our inner well being. Our breathing can be a lovely way to access the being mode, and this practice is based on this

Surya Bhedana Pranayama is one of the classical breathing techniques of Hatha Yoga. It involves breathing in through the right nostril, and out through the left. It is a variation on Alternate Nostril Breathing which aims to stimulate the Pingala nadi, an energy channel that in hatha yoga is linked to the sun, heat and activity. Modern studies have shown that the right nostril is linked with the left side of the brain, which is sometimes associated with linear, rational thinking, and the sympathetic nervous system, the part of our nervous system that mobilizes us for action
