In this episode of Rooted in the Seasons, Katja Patel shares why the breath is much more than just air — and how learning to breathe well can shift the way you feel. You’ll explore the deep connection between breath, prana (your vital life force), and the nervous system. Katja walks you through practical breathing techniques — including the 3-part yogic breath — to help you feel more grounded, clear-headed, and calm, even on the busiest of days.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt rushed, wired-but-tired, or stuck in your head. It’s also a gentle reminder that your breath is always with you, and learning to use it well might just be your new favourite daily ritual.
