Quotes to ponder:

"Square Breath offers the opportunity to focus on bringing balance to your body through equal measures of inhalation and exhalation."

"Square breath is able to pull you from the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight, or freeze) into the Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest & digest)."

"By exploring that space on the mat, I’ve learned that I’m safe, even if the transitions feel scary."
