HRV Breathing.
Embedded Files
HRV breathing, also known as coherent breathing, follows a slow and steady rhythm.
You inhale for 5.5 seconds and exhale for 5.5 seconds, without any pause in between.
This results in a breathing rate of about six breaths per minute.
This breathing rhythm is commonly associated with heart rate variability (HRV), a natural variation in the time between heartbeats that reflects how the body adapts to different situations.

When to practice
When to practice
HRV breathing is often practiced during quiet moments throughout the day — such as short breaks, transitions between activities, or times when you want to pause briefly and regain a sense of balance.
It can be used as a simple way to reconnect with your breathing rhythm during everyday moments, without requiring a special setting.
