Classroom Breathing Exercises

This short, practical breathing practice is designed especially for educators to use for themselves and to share with students. In just six minutes, you’ll learn three simple, kid-friendly breathing exercises - Box Breathing, the High-Five Breath, and the Double-Breath Reset (physiological sigh) - that support calm, focus, and emotional regulation. Each exercise is explained in an easy, approachable way, with guidance on why it works and how it can help both teachers and students reset during moments of stress, restlessness, or overwhelm. These breaths can be practiced as a class, during transitions, before tests, or anytime a pause is needed.
