We couldn’t leave #SuperVenture Berlin without giving another gift to the audience, Paolo Pio finished the HealthTech discussion with a short yet powerful breathwork exercise that left everyone feeling focused and calm.

We demonstrated the Physiological Sigh: a quick and effective breathing technique to reduce stress and anxiety. It involves two short inhalations through the nose followed by one extended exhalation through the mouth.

This simple practice can decrease blood pressure and heart and breathing rates, modulating our nervous system and curbing the fight-or-flight response (source in the comments).

If Andrew Huberman does it, then you know it must work! 😜
