Techniques

Built on neuroscience

Every technique is validated by clinical research and used by athletes, Navy SEALs, and therapists worldwide.

◻️
Box Breathing
Equal-ratio breathing used by Navy SEALs and elite performers to achieve acute control of the nervous system. Activates parasympathetic tone within 2 minutes.
Inhale 4 · Hold 4 · Exhale 4 · Hold 4
🌙
4-7-8 Breathing
Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this technique forces CO2 release and triggers the body's natural sleep and relaxation response. Fall asleep faster in days.
Inhale 4 · Hold 7 · Exhale 8
💜
Heart Coherence
Resonance frequency breathing (5-5) synchronizes your heart rate variability, reducing cortisol by up to 23% in a single session. Used in cardiac rehab.
Inhale 5 · Exhale 5
🫁
Physiological Sigh
Discovered at Stanford: a double-inhale followed by a long exhale deflates collapsed alveoli and resets the brain's stress setpoint. Fastest relief possible.

Wim Hof Method
Powerful hyperventilation technique that floods the body with oxygen, activates the immune system, and builds cold and stress tolerance.

🧠
Cyclic Sighing
Stanford study (2023): more effective than meditation for daily mood improvement. Just 5 minutes daily reduced anxiety scores by 44% over 1 month.
Extended exhale protocol

People who breathe differently

★★★★★
"I've had panic attacks for 6 years. The Physiological Sigh literally stopped one mid-attack. I couldn't believe it worked that fast. Now I use ZenBreath every morning."
