Coherent breathing

Slow, even breathing near a person’s cardiovascular resonance frequency, often around five to six breaths per minute. It may support heart-rate variability and relaxation. A common pattern is an inhale and an exhale of about five to six seconds each, ideally through the nose. Many people practice for five to twenty minutes, and apps or a visual pacer make the even rhythm easier to keep. Because it is slow and gentle, it is one of the most accessible breathing practices for beginners.
