Breathwork That Shapes Metabolism and Mood

Breathwork That Shapes Metabolism and Mood

Inhale, hold, exhale, hold—equal counts that downshift tension after strong sequences. Use it to prevent stress-driven snacking post-workout. Share your preferred count pattern, and we’ll tailor a mini breath track in our next class drop.

Yoga and Nutrition: A Gentle Synergy

Protein-Paired Plates After Practice

Combine lean protein with colorful produce and slow-digesting carbs to refuel and stabilize appetite. Think tofu stir-fry, beans and quinoa, or eggs with greens. Share your favorite post-flow plate and we’ll compile community recipes.
