What do you think? How long can you survive without breathing? Your brain can only survive a couple of minutes without oxygen. A question that appears: When was the last time you registered your breathing consciously? Never? Then it is high time. In this new publication of our PassionBreak videos, Hannah presents to us which breathing exercise helps with it. Just join.

An exercise which does wonders

Exam stress? Everyone knows it! An exam draws near or you are writing one at the moment– but you notice that you are totally tense internally. Then Hannah in the video (below) has the right exercise for you to handle the situation in a more relaxed way.

What are the effects of box breathing?

I have been using particular breathing exercises for example box breathing for several years to signal my subconscious and body “Now you can calm down.” In yoga practice, breathing is used to either activate body, spirit and soul or to prepare for meditation (the silence).

YOU CAN USE YOUR BREATH AS A “SECRET WEAPON” AGAINST STRESS, NERVOSITY, OR LACK OF ENERGY ANYTIME. AND THE BEST THING: YOU CAN ALWAYS BREATHE.

PASSION BREAK – The second episode with Hannah

Watch this video and identify your breath

You can use the box breathing method literally ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE!

I have already used it on the train (when I was nervous before an exam), in bed (when I could not sleep) or at work (when I was tired and restless).

There are many studies about how breathing, when done properly, can positively affect our general well-being.

It makes sense: When you breathe more deeply your body and brain receive more oxygen and both can function better. Breathing can be a wonderful anchor for more relaxation in your daily life.
