Week 1: Breathing exercise #2

Episode Summary

Let's work on your breath control.

Episode Notes

Next, we will do the same exercise, however, this time we will work on breath control. You should never have to take a breath in the middle of a sentence. Breath control is what allows you to have ample air to say entire paragraphs without needing to draw breath. 

Like last time, you will place your hands on the sides of your torso draw a deep breath through nose, hold, relax and then exhale using a “sss” sound for 15 seconds. 

Ready? Inhale, hold, relax, exhale on "sss".

As you practice this exercise, try to exhale for as long as possible. You should be able to go over a minute.
