Stress Relief

Breathing at 5-6 breaths per minute to maximize heart rate variability and bring heart, lungs, and brain into coherence.

A calming practice where the inhale is 4 counts, the breath is held for 7 counts, and the exhale is 8 counts, promoting parasympathetic activation.

Inhaling and exhaling for the same duration (e.g., 4 seconds each) to achieve balance in the nervous system.

Focuses on fully engaging the diaphragm and abdominal muscles to achieve deeper, slower breaths, maximizing oxygen exchange and promoting relaxation.

A quick, sharp double inhale through the nose followed by a prolonged, audible exhale through the mouth. Scientifically proven to quickly relieve anxiety and stress by reinflating collapsed alveoli in the lungs.

Breathing at your personal resonance frequency while receiving live heart rate variability (HRV) feedback to maximize respiratory sinus arrhythmia and vagal engagement.

A technique to alternate breathing between the right and left nostrils, balancing the *pingala* (solar/activating) and *ida* (lunar/calming) energy channels and regulating the nervous system.

A calming practice involving inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly while making a gentle, continuous humming sound (like a bee), which creates vibrations that soothe the nervous system.

A breath practice involving a gentle constriction in the back of the throat on both the inhale and exhale, creating an audible, ocean-like sound. It helps maintain rhythm, focus, and heat.

A cooling breath where the inhale is drawn through a rolled or pursed tongue, followed by an exhale through the nose, lowering body temperature and calming the mind.

A cooling breath used when the tongue cannot be rolled (Sitali). The teeth are gently clenched, and air is inhaled through the small gap with a soft hissing sound, followed by a nasal exhale.
