Covid 19 – Breathing techniques that may help
Transformational Breath ® is a great preventative tool to boost your immune system and activate your respiratory system. However, if you contract Covid you will find that a gentler breath pattern which supports oxygen exchange in the alveoli is preferable. Indeed, we recommend that you wait 3 weeks before doing a Transformational Breath ® session after contracting Covid 19.. Be sure to seek medical attention for advice if you are experiencing symptoms of Covid 19.
