Cardiac coherence... "who controls his breath, controls his life".

In the tradition of Yoga, breathing is essential... Without breath, Yoga is nothing as they say!

The practice of pranayama, the discipline of breath, is an indispensable daily tool for anyone who wishes to achieve inner peace!
Perhaps simpler to approach and easier to apply, cardiac coherence is part of this tradition of "who controls their breath, controls their life". That's why Yofe offers you a video to guide you through this exercise.

Cardiac coherence helps you learn to control your breathing in order to regulate your stress and anxiety. This simple technique can also reduce depression and blood pressure.

If you start practicing cardiac coherence, you will possess a very effective tool for daily stress and emotion management. At the beginning of the day, before an important appointment, a decisive meeting... practice the exercise, and you will feel a sense of appeasement and calm.

In the long term, the benefits of cardiac coherence are numerous for physical and mental health.

• Lowering of cortisol, one of the defense hormones secreted during stress.
• Increase in alpha waves that promote memory.
• Action on the secretion of dopamine, the pleasure hormone, and serotonin, excellent for the prevention of depression and anxiety!

For other benefits, it ranges from a decrease in high blood pressure, a decrease in cardiovascular risk, improved concentration, a reduction in your hyperactivity... in short, nothing but positive points.


Regarding the posture for practice, the sitting position is recommended because cardiac coherence does not work well in a lying position for anatomical reasons.
