Why practice Triangle Breathing
Triangle breathing keeps the steadying geometry of the box but drops the empty hold, which some people find anxious. A favorite first pattern for kids and beginners.
How to do it
- In for 4.
- Hold for 4.
- Out for 4, then straight back in.
Good to know
None specific.
More patterns
- Box Breathing — Four equal sides: in, hold, out, hold — 4 seconds each. The steadying classic used by Navy SEALs.
- 4-7-8 Relaxing Breath — In for 4, hold for 7, out for 8. The long exhale flips the body's relaxation switch.
- Calming Breath 8-8 — Eight seconds in, eight seconds out: slow symmetric breathing at about 3.75 breaths per minute.
- Deep Steady Breathing — The 8-8 rhythm carried by rhythmic beats — breathing you can feel.
