Innovation
Resonant breathing, also known as coherent breathing, is when you breathe at a rate of 5 full breaths per minute. You can achieve this rate by inhaling and exhaling for a count of 5.
Evaluation System
Breathing is an exercise that involves controlling the movement of our lungs. This makes it effective at improving our lung capacity, especially for treating conditions like Covid 19.

Assessment
Breathing at this rate maximizes your heart rate variability (HRV), reduces stress, and, according to a 2017 study, can reduce symptoms of depression when combined with Iyengar yoga.
