Breathing is the most underrated exercise for relaxation. It is the most easiest and quickest for relief!
De-stress and release anxiety with concentrated breathing.
Take 2-15 minutes from your day & try one of these techniques:
Focused breathing Find a comfortable place to sit and close your eyes. Inhale with calm intentions & exhale with intention of release.
Diaphragmatic breathing Find a comfortable place to lie on your back with a pillow for your head. Place your one hand on your upper chest and other below rib cage. Start a long deep breath through nose while keeping hands still. Keep long breathing for 5 to 10 minutes.
Nostril breathing Find a comfortable place to sit upright. Using one hand, while breathing, inhale closing one nostril with pinky and an exhale closing other side with thumb. Continue breathing cycle for up to 5 minutes.
Sitali breath Yoga breathing technique using mouth Find a comfortable place to be seated upright. Curl your tongue bringing outer edges to center creating an “o”. Begin inhaling through mouth and exhaling through nose. Continue for 5 minutes breathing with intention
