How to do the Seated Breathing Exercise

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting on your thighs.
2. Relax your shoulders and gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
3. Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting your belly expand.
4. Breathe out gently and fully, and keep this slow rhythm for a few minutes.

Tips

• Let your exhale be a little longer than your inhale.

Adjustments

• Sit back against the backrest if sitting upright without support feels tiring.
