This is also known as yogic coffee. So it's a way to feel more energized. So if you don't, if you're trying to transition away from caffeine as a stimulant, especially in the afternoons, this breathing technique is very powerful. So 30 repetitions, you want to rest for about 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat it two more times after that. And so you're doing three rounds, 30 repetitions each, with about 15 to 30 seconds in between, and you're going to feel amazing energy. If you were to take your resting heart rate before and after you, you would see that it's going to pop up nicely. And this could be a great way to energize yourself without having to have any coffee or any. Any stimulants, especially in the evening if you need a little pick me up or in the afternoon. This is a great breathing technique.
