Ready when you are
Humming breath, known in yoga as Bhramari or 'bee breath', pairs a slow inhale with a long humming exhale. The gentle vibration of the hum soothes the nervous system, encourages the release of nitric oxide, and leaves a pleasant, light, mood-lifting feeling.
When to use it
Use it when you want to lift a low mood, release tension, or settle into a calm yet pleasant state. It feels lovely first thing in the morning or as a midday reset.
