I don’t usually believe in any breathing exercises or I used to not believe them, but after trying these exercises, I feel much better. Certain yoga techniques have really worked for me and thats when I started believing and started trying them out

1- I try it and I thank you, it’s reaaly effective!!

2-I love listening to very loud music, dance like a complete idiot, and sing out loud when I’m stressed. IT’s really effective. After I’m really calm!

I’ve heard about this technique from Yogi’s and martial artists. Hell, even Tony Robbins describes it in his tape Awaken The Giant Within.

I use controlled breathing for better performance during exercise and for relaxation.

In training – I exhale half way through the eccentric phase of the exercise and all throughout the concentric.

In relaxation – I focus on breathing super slowly

well i fined it worked okay. the method that i use is to block the right nostril with your right thumb and inhale deeply via your left for about 10s. then take the last 2 fingers of the right hand and block the other nostril and hold your breath for bout 4s then release your thumb finger and exhale via your right nostril for bout 10s. repeat about 3 time

Hi Joel, l do get heaps of days like that , most of them actually, and breathing like that does help temporairily, but l drink beer at the end of the day, and that’s all that l’ve found really relaxes me.

Hi Joel
yeah it works, knew it but had forgotten all about it. And like Mindy says, breathing with prayer, works wonders

Well, yeah…subsequent “reps” start w/ step 2.

I have been trying to learn about breathing techniques for a short while now. They are great for relaxation but they are actually good for exercising too, helping with the core.
