About This Episode

This episode explores a clinical study by Ryan Bradley and team at the National University of Natural Medicine, Portland, OR investigating how different components of pranayama impact heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of autonomic health. Findings highlight the role of slow, externally paced breathing in enhancing parasympathetic activity and cardiovascular regulation.
