Today, we hear from wellness innovator and Ayurveda expert Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh. Dr. Singh talks us through what effects inhaling and exhaling have on your body, and we explore how stopping to take three full breaths and few times a day can impact your mindset and your nervous system. No fancy breathwork or weird counting required—she tells you three super easy ways to lengthen your inhale and exhale for noticeable results.
