I'll have to start using this class as my go-to when I awaken in the middle of the night with a racing mind.

I am not sure why I feel a contradiction of anxiety and some relaxation while doing this breathing. Is that a normal beginner sensation/experience? Thank you.

Hi, thank you for your question!
Kapalabhati (the first one) is a stimulating, invigorating breathing exercise. If it causes you to feel anxiety at this time, I would recommend skipping it and just doing the second breathing exercise, alternate nostril breathing. Alternate nostril breathing is calming and grounding, so should help to alleviate any feelings of anxiety. Hope that helps! Thank you
