breathing technique
Controlled respiration practice
A breathing technique is a deliberate pattern of inhalation and exhalation used to achieve a specific effect—calming anxiety, increasing focus, or enhancing physical performance.
Practices range from simple methods like box breathing to elaborate systems in yoga and meditation.
