breath
Learning to work with your breath, learning how to make it more functional for rest, daily life, and movement, is a game changer. Your breath is with you 24 / 7, so why not give learning a bit more about it a try?
Below are four really simple exercises you can follow along to. Start with the Breath Recovery exercise, then try the Box Breathing, the Physiological Sigh and then Coherence breathing, but feel free to listen and explore as feels good for you.
It’s very simple. Grab some headphones and find a quiet place to sit: on a chair or a cushion on the floor, with your back supported. You can even do it at work, on the bus or tube.

Breath Recovery
Designed to restore functional breathing, we advise starting with this exercise and practicing it daily or various times a day.
Coherence Breathing
A slow, rhythmic breathing pattern that helps synchronize the heart, breath, and nervous system. A great way to finish the day and bring the breath, body and mind into a state that’s ready for real restoration.
We have included one guided version for you to learn the exercise, and one version with music alone which you can follow once familiar with the exercise.
Box Breathing
A simple, structured breathing technique using equal counts to calm the mind and steady the body. Use whenever you want to bring your mind and energy levels back into balance.
Physiological Sigh
This technique has been found to be the quickest way to shift from overwhelm to a more relaxed state. A natural double‑inhale followed by a long exhale to release tension and reset the nervous system.
