I went to a conference a few years ago which had optional morning workouts.

You know this was a personal development conference when there are morning workouts.

Anyway, I believe I chose a hit workout or something like that and one of my friends that I went with went to a breathing yoga thing.

I really wanted to sweat so the breathing yoga thing didn't sound like too much fun for me.

However, when we met back up after the workouts were over, she looked pale.

She told me that she had to hold her breath and that she had never experienced anything like it.

Hold your breath on purpose.

I didn't even know that was a thing, but it is a thing y'all.

A thing that thousands of people are practicing apparently makes their brains happy.
