Before you begin

These breathing practices are offered for general relaxation and educational purposes only. They are not medical or health advice, and nothing on this page diagnoses, treats, or prevents any condition.

Talk with your doctor before trying any breathing exercise, especially if you are pregnant or have a heart, blood pressure, respiratory, or anxiety related condition. Practise seated or lying down, and stop right away if you feel dizzy, faint, or short of breath.

Go at your own pace and stop if anything feels wrong. Our safety notice explains how far our responsibility goes.

If you are struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S., or call 911 in an emergency. These exercises are not a substitute for care.
