When it comes to yogic tradition, the importance of breath cannot be overstated. From decreasing stress to relieving pain—breathing exercises provide a range of health benefits. For those who seek new ways to effectively cool down post-workout, breathing exercises can be extremely helpful. “Incorporating breathing exercises and yoga into your post-workout routine allows for a gradual transition from a state of heightened activity to a state of relaxation and recovery. It supports physical and mental recovery, promotes overall well-being, and helps you feel refreshed after your workout,” says certified yoga instructor and JetSynthesys’ ThinkRight.me Master Sneha Desai.
She further says that improved blood circulation, enhanced relaxation, and a stronger mind-body connection can be achieved through breathing exercises, and yogic stretches.
