Return to Sattva: Restorative Breathing for Long-COVID
with Robin Rothenberg, C-IAYT
About this talk
Pranayama has been touted as the elixir of vitality. However, in the aftermath of respiratory trauma like Long-COVID, the autonomic nervous system often becomes dysregulated. Disordered breathing follows, making the breath effortful and erratic. Common pranayama techniques can exacerbate this, leading to further depletion. In this presentation, Robin will guide you through a series of nuanced processes that help re-establish functional breathing and improve vagal-tone.These include: Reconditioning the diaphragm; mobilizing the rib-cage to increase perfusion; and calibrated practices that balance of the blood gasses to support better oxygenation. Robin’s natural warmth invites curiosity, playfulness, and compassionate self-care. Her expertise in addressing breathing pattern disorders offer potent healing tools and have been specifically adapted for those living with the symptoms of Long-COVID.
