✨ BREATH OF JOY With Yoga Therapist Emily R ✨
A simple, energizing breathwork practice that helps lift your mood, release tension, and reset your nervous system.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head — this one is for you.
What is Breath of Joy?
A quick, rhythmic pattern of three short “sniffing” inhales + one long exhale, using your arms and movement to sweep energy up and out of the body.
It wakes up your system, gently elevates your heart rate, and signals the brain to shift out of stress mode.
Why it works:
🫁 Moves your body out of freeze or shutdown
🧠 Increases oxygen + boosts dopamine and endorphins
💛 Helps release heaviness, anxiety, and emotional tension
⚡ Re-energizes when depression leaves you flat or unmotivated
