Hold the breath and exhale
0:04
I just wanted to do one real one because it feels really good. I'm trying to work on my posture to be like yours too
0:09
Your posture is great. Straight spine. Hey, it's Teddy Swims. I'm hanging out with my dear friend Ashley Roberts
0:15
for the most relaxing interview ever at heart. Yes, Teddy. She was on the mat
0:21
It was diabolical, sis. Honestly. The heels on the mat is great. The heels on the mat
0:25
Yes, fam. This is probably a first. Yes, girl. Have you ever done breath work before
0:30
Not really, no. First time for everything. Yeah, I can't wait. So happy I'm your first
0:34
Okay, so what we like to do is get some oxygen into the cells so we're feeling good
0:39
That parasympathetic nervous system is like, yes, we're cool, we're calm, we're collected
0:43
Yeah? Yes. And you're going to take your hands like so and go to the bottom of the ribs. Okay
0:47
As you inhale deeply, you'll feel the lungs and ribs expand into the middle of your hands
0:53
You kind of feel that expansion? Yeah. And then an exhale as the ribs come in
0:58
Doing great. One more time. Take a deep inhale. And Teddy, I want to know who your dream collaboration is
1:05
And exhale. Anybody come to mind? You know, I love Adele. I think that would be really sweet
1:13
Honey, that would be a sweet collab. Yeah, I love her. Take a deep inhale
1:19
Expanding those lungs. And exhale. Getting that oxygen into the cells. And another deep inhale
1:26
Teddy, what's your favorite emoji? And exhale. I'm probably like between the poo-poo emoji and the..
1:34
I like this face too that goes... You know that one? Yeah
1:37
I like that guy. He's cool. The sticking out with the wink. Nobody actually makes that face
1:42
I know. It's not like I say something cheeky and I'm like... You know me
1:46
Yes. We'll do one more of those because we're in the mix of that. Take a deep inhale
1:52
And exhale. One more time. Deep inhale. Expanding those lungs and exhale
2:00
How are you feeling Teddy I pretty relaxed Yeah It nice It nice stuff isn it Yeah it good to breathe Should we do one more breathing exercise and I might take you into something else Okay cool Okay so it goes like so
2:11
Two, three, four. Hold the breath. Two, three, four, five, six, seven
2:17
And exhale. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Inhale. Two, three, four
2:25
Hold your breath. I also want to know if you could smell like any food for the rest of your life
2:30
what would it be? And exhale. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
2:35
Is it like a cuisine or just one food? You get to choose. I think if I had to choose like a cuisine
2:41
maybe I would be in between like, I could do Mexican food or Japanese food is up there too, you know
2:48
I could probably do those every day. One of the two of those, maybe. Sizzling fajitas
2:53
Yeah, see, you can't beat it. You know what I mean? The second it comes out, it hits your nose before you get the food on the table
3:00
I could live with Mexican every day, I think. You're speaking my language
3:04
Guacamole. Yeah, these veggies, meat, beans, rice. You know, you can't beat it, man
3:08
That's what I say. All right, let's take a deep inhale. Two, three, four, hold the breath
3:15
Now, what job would you be doing if you weren't a singer? And exhale, two, three, four, five
3:21
I've never really done anything. I've never wanted to, like, I've always wanted this, you know
3:26
And I really don't even have much hobbies, which I think I need to do eventually
3:31
It's something we're working on in therapy, like having something outside of this
3:34
But I really don't. I think when I was a kid, I wanted to be a comedian, like a stand-up comic
3:40
But it's such a difficult thing to be up there by yourself, you know, because you're going to bomb
3:45
And bombing is like, at least now, if I make a bad joke on stage and nobody laughs, I could just start the next song, you know
3:52
Keep it moving. To recover quickly. Yeah, yeah. If I'm up there by my damn self and I just bomb, that's it
3:57
You know, you're there by yourself. There's something really brave about that that I've always been kind of jealous of, you know
4:04
Oh it great that you living your dream though right Yeah it true But maybe breath work could become your passion Yeah Hey it good is Let me tell you It feels great All right should we take a deep inhale Okay Okay ready Hold the breath
4:16
and think about what your favorite British snack is and exhale. You know
4:27
they got that, what's that, Monster Munch or Monster Crunch or something
4:31
Monster Munch! Yeah, they have the pickled onion ones. I love those things. What about your favorite
4:39
British fast food? Is there something you've got to stop at? Like fish and chips? Is there Nando stuff
4:44
Yeah, you've got to get a Nando's in while you're here, for sure. But I think my favorite thing to do
4:49
in London is Indian food. You just can't beat it. I mean, I guess maybe
4:52
Indian proper would be better at Indian food, but this is the
4:56
spot for... I love Indian food. Curry. Yeah, good old curry. Sloppy, like some Nans
5:02
You can't beat it. It's so good. Absolutely. Should we take another deep inhale
5:06
Okay, and deep inhale through the nose. Hold the breath. And what is your favorite tipple
5:14
And exhale. What's a tipple? That's a drink, honey. What's your favorite bev
5:20
Oh, tequila. I like tequila a lot. I feel like you and I should go out because we're literally speaking the same language
5:28
Yeah, come on, Tren. Favorite tequila? I think I'm a big fan of Classy Azul, obviously, if you're, you know, cheating yourself
5:37
But, you know, you can't, you really, you really can't be in Casamigos, you know, for like a $60 bottle
5:43
It's just nice and sick. George Clooney did his thing on that thing. He did, right
5:47
Yeah. I'm into Casamigos as well. All right. Let's take a deep inhale
5:53
Hold the breath. And exhale. I just want to do one real one because it feels really good
6:01
I'm trying to work on my posture to be like yours too. Your posture is great. Straight spine
6:05
Straight spine is important because then all that, well, if you're into Kundalini
6:09
all that energy goes up through the spine. And it good Kundalini That sounds like a noodle A little kundalini pasta Yeah I have a bit of that Okay let do a deep inhale
6:24
Do you have a favorite quote that you live by? Yeah, it's a good day to be us
6:29
Exhale. It's a good day to be us. Yeah. I say that to my team every day
6:34
My dearest friend, Alan Stone, taught me that one day. He says it to his son every day
6:38
And I was like, man, I just changed my life forever. And I say that, me and my team say that every day to each other
6:44
That's epic. It's a good day to be us, man. Good vibes. All right, let's get into cat-cow
6:47
We're going to get on all fours. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. And then we're going to do an arch with the spine
6:53
Just get a deep arch. Yeah, exactly. Like a cow. Then we're going to take an inhale as we go into cat, stretching that spine
7:02
Deep inhale through the nose. as you arch up and then exhale
7:07
through the nose as you arch back. Again, deep inhale and exhale
7:16
and then come to sit back on your knees. Should we get him a drink now
