We introduce new techniques such as box breathing and provide some guidance on the practice, alternate nostril breathing, or Nadi Shodhana, is an ancient yogic practice that involves alternating breaths between your nostrils. Then we introduce breath of fire, or Kapalabhati, which is a rapid, forceful exhalation followed by a passive inhalation. This powerful technique is said to cleanse the respiratory system, energize the body, and sharpen the mind. We summarize an overview of Wim How method, but will cover in greater detail in another episode. Thanks for listening!
