4-7-8 Breaths (Power Breaths)

Short in, long hold, longer out

In for four, gently hold for seven, gently breathe out for eight. A pranayama practice, which I learned through kung fu training before there was an internet, which seems to have claimed it.

• In for four, gently.
• Gently hold for seven.
• Slowly out for eight.
• The long hold and the long out breath do the work.
• Not the place to start. Get comfortable with 4-6 first.
