Be Present
When life feels chaotic, breathwork becomes a powerful anchor. One minute of intentional breathing can calm your nervous system, steady your emotions, and bring you back into your body.
Grounding doesn’t require long sessions — just presence.
Why Breathwork Works So Quickly
Slow breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your body that says:
You are safe. You can relax.
This lowers stress hormones, reduces tension, and clears mental fog.
A 60-Second Grounding Breath
-
Sit comfortably on your mat or cushion.
-
Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds.
-
Hold gently for 2 seconds.
-
Exhale for 6 seconds.
-
Repeat for one minute.
Notice the shift. Your thoughts soften. Your chest releases. Your mind becomes clearer.
Supportive Props for Deeper Grounding
The NOLAVA Yoga Cards include a breathwork card you can keep beside your mat for quick resets.

One Minute Can Change Your Entire Day
You don’t need a long break — only a single minute of intentional breathing can bring you back to yourself.
