Box Breathing

A breathing exercise I recently learned about is called Box Breathing. This breathing technique is a great strategy that both adults and students can use. 


Begin this exercise by sitting up straight, this will allow for proper air flow throughout your body and lungs. Next, take a deep breath in. Count to four and exhale through your nose. Repeat this again, ensure to take a big deep breath in and exhale through your nose. Repeat as necessary.


Another reason why I thought this breathing exercise was effective is because there is a video demonstration that individuals can easily follow along with. In this video a speaker guides you throughout the exercise.

This is a guided relaxation pranayama box breathing technique for mindfulness to help you calm down and connect with your inner self. This short meditation will help you in being present to the moment. Breathing in can help to calm you down during times of stress, or just relaxing in your own space.

There is a visual representation of a square that highlights when to inhale, hold and exhale. This can be a great meditation tool for educators to use within the classroom, especially for students who enjoy visuals and auditory.
