Restore Inner Balance with Box Breathing

In times of stress, one of the simplest ways to bring relaxation to your body is through a yogic technique called Box Breathing, also known as 4-4-4-4 Breathing. When our bodies are stressed, we tend to breathe shallowly, and this balancing technique has been proven to lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and restore calm. Box breathing is a tool you can use daily or whenever you need to, to lessen your body’s overall response to stress. You may find yourself less responsive to stress over time, as your nervous system becomes regulated through the practice of the technique. Those with particular health concerns may wish to check with their healthcare provider before beginning breathwork.
