Lazy 8 Breathing
Get in an upright seated position with your back straight, feet flat on the floor, roll
shoulders back, make sure you can breathe easily. In this exercise, you’re going to
imagine a #8 laying on it’s side, and trace the shape of the figure 8 while breathing
deeply. You can trace the lazy 8 in the air, on your desk, or on your leg.
Starting at the star…
INHALE for 3 seconds, as you trace the LEFT half of the figure 8
When you hit the star, EXHALE for 3 seconds, tracing the RIGHT half
REPEAT 3x!
This breathing technique gives us an opportunity to relax a little bit and slow our
breathing
