Humming Bee Breath

De-stress with Humming Bee Breath. The Humming Bee Breath involves making a series of long, humming sounds – ‘mmmmmmmmm’. It has a direct impact on the pituitary gland, which influences the ‘relaxation response’, counteracting our ‘stress response’.
It can be deeply calming when done. An effective tool for everyone and an effective tool to learn during pregnancy.

In her book, Preparing for Birth with Yoga, Janet Balaskas suggests that many women find releasing sounds helpful in coping with intense or painful contractions.

It can be useful to practice sound breathing in labour positions from time to time throughout your pregnancy so that your body ‘learns’ to breathe spontaneously, with sound, for labour and birth. If you practice now you will do this instinctively at the time.
