Whether you are watching live on Election Day in the U.S. or you are just having a stressful day, we're bringing you something designed to help you de-stress. We want to exhale together, and we've put together a shorter episode featuring a healing, breathwork session from Michael Stone.

Michael Stone is the creator of Neuro Dynamic Breathwork, which he has taught to tens of thousands of people from over 120 countries. He has been instrumental in creating a thriving, worldwide breathing community in support of personal and global transformation and healing. Michael has spoken at innumerable international summits with superstars such as Joe Dispenza, Tony Robbins, Gebre Monti, Deepak Chopra and others.

This session was put together originally as part of the YourTango Relationship Fitness Summit that launched in September 2024.

We invite you to take a little slice of your time to close your eyes, do this meditation and hopefully reset your autonomic nervous system, get into a calmer, more grounded state, and hopefully just feel a whole lot better. So let's let Michael guide us into a little bit of bliss.
