Pursed-lip breathing while seated

Inhale calmly and direct the breath toward the area emphasized by the exercise. Exhale without forcing while keeping the neck, shoulders and jaw relaxed. Repeat the movement calmly, prioritizing control over range.

Prioritize comfortable, quiet breathing. If you feel dizzy, short of breath or need to force the inhale, return to your normal breathing pattern and rest; the aim is control, not breath-holding endurance.
