‘BREATHE IN’

FOR BEGINNERS
Breathe through your nostrils with your hands on your abdomen. Feel it move out when you inhale and in as you exhale.
FOR LOW MOOD AND ENERGY
In a seated position, inhale and exhale rapidly and noisily, strongly contracting your abdomen as you inhale
(it will automatically move outwards). Each breath should take one second. Do three 30-second cycles to feel results.
FOR STRESS OR SLEEPLESSNESS
Lie on your back and inhale deeply through your nostrils, expanding your abdomen as you do so. Count to three, hold your breath for six seconds, and exhale for a count of nine, allowing your tummy to deflate. Keep going for five minutes.
