Click on the link for instructions with good pictures. The first is a sitting technique. The second is standing.

Do Breathing Exercises At Home or
Work To Calm, Relax & Energize


Did you know if you regularly do breathing exercises at home, or almost anywhere quiet & well ventilated, you can reduce stress, tension, tiredness, anxiety and nervousness, improve your sleep and boost your immunity? These are just some of the benefits of the breathing exercises & relaxation techniques below.

The first exercise emphasises exhalation to expel stale air from your lungs, increase oxygen intake and prepare you for the next exercise.

The second exercise combines slow, deep breathing with fluid arm movements to boost oxygen intake, circulate your blood, balance your breathing and calm and relax you.
