We explore breath retention.  If you've never practiced holding your breath after exhaling then you're in for a real treat!  Typically most people inhale deeply then hold the inhale (when I was younger in a pool/lake/river- we often did this to swim under water).  This practice is the inverse, we will be exhaling and then holding the breath out (without inhaling).  This exercise can trigger a flight or fight response and that is very natural.  Over time, with practice you can learn to acknowledge that response and then move through it to strengthen your breath pattern and nervous system.
