A six-minute guided box breathing exercise from breathwork coach Mike Maher, using clear on-screen graphics to walk you through the simple four-count inhale, hold, exhale, hold pattern used by everyone from Navy SEALs to anxious office workers to quickly calm the nervous system. The high production quality and clean visual guidance make it one of the easiest breathwork videos to follow, even for complete beginners who have never tried structured breathing before. Recommended for anyone looking for a quick, effective tool to reduce stress and anxiety in the moment, or to wind down before sleep.
