What they say

This is a really easy breathing technique and you can just imagine drawing the sides of a box with each part of the breath.

Why you love it

  • "Box breathing is a really simple way to slow down breathing. If you use 3 as your number, you've slowed down your breathing to 5 breaths per minute by the time you've done all the sides. "
