Online · At your desk
Two breaths in through the nose, one long breath out.

Your body already does this on its own, in sleep and after a long cry. Here you do it on purpose. Two inhales stacked on top of each other, then an exhale that takes its time. Follow the circle. A few rounds is often enough to notice something has shifted.
How to do it
- 1Sit or stand. Let your shoulders drop.
- 2Breathe in through your nose. At the top, take one more short sip of air.
- 3Let it all go, slowly, through your mouth.
- 4Follow the circle until the timer ends. Stop whenever you like.
Take care. If you feel light-headed, stop and breathe normally.
Promising. A breathing pattern people do without thinking. Away has not measured this session.
