Reduce stress in real time by changing how you breathe. 🌿

In this episode, Cindy guides us through practical breath awareness exercises that help shift the body out of stress and into a state of calm and regulation. We explore how posture, diaphragmatic breathing, and slowing the breath activate the relaxation response and support long-term health.

This is a hands-on episode you can practice along with anywhere — at home, at work, or in moments of stress — using simple tools you already have.
