Farinelli breathing

Equal counts in, hold and out, getting longer each round. It trains slow, controlled breathing out, which is what a long phrase needs.

How to do it

  1. Breathe in through the nose for the count, low into the belly and ribs.
  2. Hold with the throat open (as if about to yawn), not locked.
  3. Breathe out silently for the same count. Each round adds two counts.

Remember Ribs stay wide while the air goes out.
