breathing rhythm
Inhale-exhale timing cycle
Breathing rhythm is the pattern and pace of inhalation and exhalation.
The term appears in meditation, yoga, and relaxation techniques where controlling the breath is central: Focus on your breathing rhythm.
Musicians and singers work with breathing rhythm to sustain phrases.
In medical contexts, an irregular breathing rhythm may indicate respiratory or neurological problems.
