Should I still practice when I have a cold or not feeling well?

If you are experiencing a cold or not feeling well, it is your body’s way of telling you that you need to slow down and rest. Instead of not practicing Breatheology at all, it is recommended that you use the right exercises to speed up your recovery.

 

Deep breathing and mental relaxation activate the parasympathetic nervous system through the vagus nerve. This will calm your body and allows it to rest and recover faster from what is causing you not feeling well in the first place.

 

Refrain from practicing the more demanding exercises in the Breatheology method and if the pain increases or the cold lingers, make sure to reach out to your healthcare provider for a medical checkup.
