This 15-Minute Breathwork Session Will Ease Stress and Elevate Your Morning

1
This 15-minute session from PS Fit's Marlize Joubert is designed to provide you some stress relief and bring about a sense of renewed energy and groundedness. To begin, Joubert starts things off slowly with a series of large inhalations through the nose and chest. Clearing the mind, she gives instructions on how to follow these deep breaths with light exhalations through the mouth.

Next, Joubert provides clear instruction on how to complete thirty breaths — strong inhalations and exhalations — instructing viewers to squeeze "every single drop of that exhale out." The practice will invigorate you, Joubert says, in the video. As a side note, she mentions that you might feel tingles, vibrations, and even feel a slightly hotter-than-normal temperature, as this breathwork sequence works to energize you.

"You're doing great," Joubert says to the class, with encouragement. During the session, she gently reminds viewers that they are safe during this practice. As more breathwork and meditation is explored, Joubert continues around the main theme of being in control of your life, rather than feeling disconnected.

"What kind of positive feeling would you like to feel throughout the day? Joy, happiness, openness, love, maybe a sense of freedom, or safety?" Joubert says, instructing the class to pick one feeling that they would like to carry throughout your day. "If you have felt it throughout your life, bring it back from memory," Joubert says.

Upon finishing, viewers may feel reinvigorated and ready for the day. However, if at any point later on you seem to have forgotten the lessons learned from this practice, Joubert reminds everyone to have patience with themselves. You can always come back and do the practice again, and other video sessions like this
