56. The Power Your Breath Has to Heal Your Body


Listen Later

What if someone told you they have one thing that can reduce your stress, increase your energy, and enhance your mental clarity? You would do it, right?! Well, what if we told you it’s something you do everyday and don’t even realize - but you might not be doing it correctly.? It’s breath.

In today’s episode I, Krystle, walk you through all of the benefits that our breath has. Our bodies have so much power to restore and help themselves however, during pregnancy and postpartum, our breathing patterns change so much. If we take a little bit of time and focus our energy back on our breath, it can have huge benefits.

We cover everything from breaking down the basics of how breathing works, to how to know if you have dysfunctional breathing patterns, and finally offer five tips you can try if you are a dysfunctional breather. If you focus on breathing correctly, before you know it you’ll be feeling and living better. It takes time and practice but the benefits are amazing!

If you have an anxious friend or know a mama whose bra line is too tight, we would love it if you shared this episode with her. There is so much we are not taught about the power of our breath and we want to help expand this knowledge to as many mamas as possible!
