Pranayama | Sama Vritti (Box Breathing)

Sama Vritti pranayama greatly assist in calming anxiety and panics through slowing down the heart rate and increasing oxygen to the brain. Practicing this type of breathwork regularly will allow you to experience deep states of relaxation. 'Sama' means equal' and Vritti means 'mental fluctuations' so essentially, you are exhaling and inhaling in equal amounts.

In this video we Inhale for 4 seconds, pause for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and pause for 4 seconds and repeat.

Doing this for 3 minutes (or 26 times) can greatly assist in calming your mind and improving symptoms of anxiety and panic.

We reccomend you do this whilst waiting for your tea blend to brew! Enjoy :)
