Title: Relaxation Breathing for Enhanced Sleep Improving Respiratory Health, with Relevance to Clinical practitioners & Yoga Professionals
Speaker: Dr. Nick Shroff, MD, FACS, E-RYT
Sleep is pivotal to cognitive function, metabolic regulation, and overall health. Practicing mindful breathing and relaxation techniques can enhance sleep quality. Ancient yogic traditions and contemporary scientific research underscore the effectiveness of nasal abdominal breathing, as opposed to shallow chest breathing. This session will highlight the transformative power of diaphragmatic nasal breathing and explore various pranayama techniques. The PPT slides discuss the usefulness for physical, emotional, and mental well-being in healthy persons as well as people dealing with various chronic illnesses, such as migraine (one in 5 on earth), Type 2 diabetes, and COPD.
