About Breathing
Breathing exercises involve consciously controlling your breath to activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the part responsible for bringing you into a relaxed state. Practicing regularly helps build a strong mind-body connection, reduce stress, and promote inner peace.
Normal Breathing Patterns
