Anxiety often manifests with respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms such as shallow breathing, hyperventilation, and rapid heartbeat. Shallow breathing worsens feelings of breathlessness and anxiety by triggering the body’s “fight or flight” response.
Controlled breathwork techniques have emerged as effective tools for managing stress and promoting well-being. Daily practice of 5-minute breathwork has been shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and regulate physiological responses like respiratory and heart rates.
