Beach Breathing

Take a moment to do a short breathing exercise to try relax you body
and mind by picturing that you are sitting on a beach somewhere warm.
Get in an upright seated position with your back straight, feet flat on the floor and roll
your shoulders back, making sure you can breathe easily. Close your eyes and imagine
that you’re sitting or standing on the beach watching the waves come onto the beach,
followed by them getting dragged back into the ocean.
This activity is called Beach Breathing.
INHALE deeply, allowing your stomach and chest to fill with air and imagine you’re
drawing a wave up onto the sand
EXHALE slowly and calmly, pushing the air out of your body and imagine the water
receding back into the ocean
Repeat 5x!
This breathing exercise allows us to clear our heads and focus our attention and focus
to the waves and our breathing.
