Circular breathing

Breathing in a continuous rhythm without intentional pauses between inhale and exhale. The term is used differently in breathwork and in wind-instrument technique. In breathwork it usually describes connected breathing, where the inhale flows straight into the exhale. In music it means a technique for playing a didgeridoo or wind instrument without a break, by pushing air out with the cheeks while inhaling through the nose. The two meanings share a name but work very differently.
