Coherent Breathing Rate
Coherent breathing rate uses about five to six breaths per minute to boost HRV and calm the nervous system in short daily sessions.
Coherent breathing rate is roughly five to six breaths per minute—often five-second inhale and five-second exhale—to maximize heart rate variability and parasympathetic tone in short sessions. Ten to twenty minutes daily or pre-sleep is a common prescription.
It is simpler than complex pranayama for beginners.
