breathing exercise
Deliberate inhalation practice
A breathing exercise is a deliberate pattern of inhaling and exhaling performed to achieve a specific effect—calming anxiety, increasing focus, or improving lung capacity.
These techniques range from simple deep breathing to structured methods like box breathing or the 4-7-8 technique: My therapist taught me a breathing exercise for panic attacks.
Common in meditation, yoga, and stress management.
