Totonoi - 1 "#RelaxWithDeepBreaths" Contest! sponsored by BREATHER (Event Ended)

Jan 7, 2025

Deep Breathing x Sauna = totonoi?

The Totonoi - 1 "#Relax with Deep Breathing" contest, sponsored by BREATHER Inc., which revolutionizes how we rest through breathing, has been held!!

Conscious deep breathing leads to a further totonoi...

Modern people who sit in chairs all day tend to have shallow breathing and cannot inhale enough oxygen. By practicing conscious, correct deep breathing, it is possible to alleviate the stress felt in daily life.

When you usually enter a sauna, how conscious are you of your "breathing"?

Your breathing may become shallow in a hot sauna room, or you might completely hold your breath in a cold bath. Have you ever found yourself unable to breathe as you want under extreme conditions, or just breathing mindlessly as your body moves!?

This time, we held a demonstration experiment event in a contest format to test the effects in a sauna, to see whether conscious breathing can bring us closer to a more ideal sauna experience!
