breathing exercises

Controlled inhalation techniques

Breathing exercises are techniques that involve consciously controlling the breath to achieve specific effects—relaxation, stress reduction, improved focus, or physical conditioning.

Common methods include deep belly breathing, box breathing, and rhythmic patterns used in yoga and meditation.

I do breathing exercises before public speaking to calm my nerves.
