The Science of Breath Rewiring Stress via Hormone Regulation

Summary: Feeling totally burned out? Science says the way you breathe can actually change your body's chemistry. A technique called SKY Breath (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) acts like a reset button for your stress. It lowers stress hormones like cortisol that make you feel wired and tired. Even better, it raises "feel-good" hormones like oxytocin and prolactin, which help you relax, recover, and feel more connected to others. Just a few minutes of rhythmic breathing can calm your mind and help your body bounce back from daily pressures.
