What happens when we exhale? What happens to our nervous system and our physiology? What happens when we hold our breath? What happens when we inhale? How we can optimize our mechanics for breathing, the function of our diaphragm, the function of our pelvic floor, so that we can optimize our mechanics for breathing, the function of our diaphragm, the function of our pelvic floor.
0:24.8	So much, this is such a rich, important conversation for anyone who has lungs or has blood circulating through the body or wants to feel better or wants to sleep better or wants to have regulation of the nervous
