In yin practice, breathing is less about control and more about creating the conditions for ease. Some of the breathing practices I work with in yin include:

• Natural breathing
Allowing the breath to be exactly as it is, without effort or control

• Breath observation
Using the breath as an anchor for awareness, supporting presence and nervous-system settling

• Resonant breathing (4–7 breaths per minute)
A slow, steady rhythm that calms the nervous system and supports vagal tone

• Extended exhale breathing
Emphasising the out-breath to encourage relaxation and letting go

• Square breathing (slow and soft)
An even, gentle pattern that can help steady the mind and regulate anxiety

• Dirga (three-part breath)
Encouraging fuller, more spacious breathing to support lung health and reduce stress

• Ocean breath / ujjayi (gentle)
A soft, audible breath that supports focus while remaining grounding and calm

• Sitali
A cooling breath that helps reduce excess heat and soothe the mind

• Alternate nostril breathing
Practised slowly to support balance, clarity, and a sense of ease

These are the kinds of yin-appropriate breathing practices we explore in Lessons in Yin, with an emphasis on subtlety, safety, and nervous-system awareness.
