PDF guide here: https://www.yogabody.com/water-whiske...

You probably already know that breathing exercises have a plethora of health benefits – from reducing stress and lowering blood pressure, to improving sleep, energy, and digestion. But with so many different breathing books and teachers available, it can be difficult to figure out which practice is right for you.

In this video, we’ll segment breathing into three simple categories—water, whiskey, and coffee—and then talk you through a single practice in each of the three styles. Water practices balance your nervous system. Whiskey category practices, like the name suggests, make you sleepy, while coffee category practices rev you up for activity. Once you understand the differences between them, you can hopefully call on these practices to suit your needs at different times of the day.
