Box Breath

Box breath is a breathing technique to reduce stress. It helps with performance and focus. In this practice, I guide us through a 4 count breath, breathing in, holding breath, exhaling, and holding the breath for the same counts. We move to a 6 count. And I provide time in the end for you to use a count of your choice.
Enjoy and namaste,
Stephanie
