5 Min Breathwork: Rectangle Breathing

This is a go-to practice to regulate your emotions and regain calm.

Rectangle Breathing is a paced practice that uses longer inhales and shorter exhales to regulate your nervous system and balance your energy.

By breathing mindfully through your nose, this technique helps reduce stress, improve heart rate variability, and create a sense of emotional stability.

It’s a great choice when you don't have much time but need to reset and recharge.
