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.
