As a runner and a breathwork practitioner, I've noticed a huge correlation between the two activities. Both of which, actively reset your nervous system. However, I know that not a lot of people are into breathwork that run. Today's experiment is to bridge the gap.  I use your breath as a tool. In the beginning I want you breathing a little harder than an easy pace. Your breath is the key to breaking up blockages you may have that are felt in your body. We clear things out in the first half, in order to make space for the things we want to call back in during the second half of the run.In this episode my goal is that you go out on a run, and return home with a healthy, regulated nervous system. Thanks for running mindful miles with me!
