Breathe Away Anxiety with Cyclic Sighing

A Stanford Medicine study highlights cyclic sighing — a simple breathwork technique where you take a long inhale through the nose, followed by a second shorter inhale, then a slow, extended exhale. Practicing just 5 minutes daily can significantly reduce anxiety, lower stress, and improve mood.

Breathwork like cyclic sighing works by engaging your parasympathetic nervous system, calming your body, improving oxygen regulation, and supporting better overall well-being — both mentally and physically.
