  • What happens in the brain and nervous system when we breathe consciously
  • How breathwork can support emotional regulation
  • Why breathwork can be a great tool when dealing with trauma

And at the end of the episode, Alisa guides you through a gentle 5-minute breathwork practice you can try yourself!
