Extended Exhale Breathing
by Kirsty Lyon
Extended exhale breathing is a simple, effective way to support nervous system regulation by gently changing the rhythm of the breath. When we’re stressed or overwhelmed, the breath naturally becomes shorter and faster as the body prepares to respond. In modern life, many stressors don’t resolve quickly, which can leave the nervous system stuck in a state of readiness. By consciously lengthening the exhale, we offer the body a clear signal of safety, inviting it to soften and settle. In this session, Kirsty Lyon guides you through natural breathing, subtle pacing, and optional breath counting to help the mind stay present and the body unwind. This beginner-friendly practice can be used anytime you notice tension, restlessness, or lingering stress.
