SOMA energising meditations feature an ambidextrous aerobic warm-up, rhythmic breathing to music and retention. Some sessions can be quite strong in terms of the physiological and emotional effects. This session is a good introduction with an emphasis on relaxation and mild hypoxia (reduced oxygen) only.

Warm-up

Relaxed breathing 2:4 rhythm

Short breath hold on passive exhale, then hold the inhale

Energising breath 4:4 rhythm
