Check out this 5-minute video from SKY Schools to learn Victory Breath.

Victory Breath is a powerful breathing technique that can restore deep calm in your mind, body, and emotions—within minutes!

Both energizing and relaxing, it sends fresh oxygen throughout the body while activating the vagus nerve, which allows your parasympathetic nervous system to quickly and easily calm down.
