Small breath holds is a practice that can be used at any time of day to bring you out of your head and back into your body. This practice can settle feelings of anxiety and stress and bring you back to a more balanced feeling of calm and connectivity.

Small breath holds involves breathing normally in and out through the nose, pausing the breath and holding it out for 5 seconds (or less). This will help to increase carbon dioxide and create a fast effective reset back to calm.

Not recommended during pregnancy.

If your BOLT score is less than 10 seconds, please adjust the breath hold to less than 5 seconds.
