What pace to aim for
Around five to six breaths a minute - roughly five to six seconds in and the same out - is the pace most studied for heart-rate variability and feeling calmer. A longer exhale than inhale often feels the most settling. The right pace is the one you can hold comfortably, not the slowest. Read more about coherent breathing and HRV, or find a session for how you feel.
