Four breathing practices that move the body out of stress and into relaxation. No belief required, and you can check yourself with a before and after heart rate test on your phone.

Snake Breath
Breathe in, then breathe out as slowly as you possibly can. The most powerful of the four, and the one with a health warning.

4-7-8 Breaths (Power Breaths)
Short in, long hold, longer out. A pranayama practice, and not the place to start.

Box Breaths
A square. In, hold, out, hold, all for the same count. Tactical breathing used by the US Navy Seals.

4-6 Breaths
In for four seconds, out for six. The simplest and most accessible of the four practices, and the one to learn first.
