This easy traditional yoga exercise calms the senses and normalizes the breathing frequency. Deep, regular breathing can reduce stress symptoms remarkably.
Sit comfortably upright and cross your legs (but you can also do the exercise sitting on a chair, e.g. in your office, taking a break)
Form a roof-like figure with your hands, only the fingertips touching
Look down at the tip of your nose and inhale gently for about five seconds
Hold your breath about another five seconds
Breathe out gently for five seconds
Continue for 3 to 10 Minutes
