Breathing Exercises

Pretend your belly is a balloon. Breathe in slowly through your nose and feel your belly expand like a balloon. Then breathe out through your mouth and feel the balloon deflate.

Breathe in through your nose, then breathe out through your mouth while making a "shhhh" sound, like ocean waves crashing on the shore. Feel your body relax with each wave.

Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts, and hold for 4 counts. Imagine tracing the shape of a square as you breathe.

Take three quick sniffs through your nose (like a bunny!), then one long exhale through your mouth. This is a fun way to get more oxygen into your body.
