Using Deep Breathing To Control Stress, Anxiety And Excess Worrying

Even though our body breathes automatically, we can control the speed and how deep we breathe, and also if we breathe through the mouth or nose.

Yogic breathing is oriented to controlling stress and has three phases, inhalation, retention and exhalation. Learn how to do it. Click here for more information.
