Viloma Segmented Breath
Viloma segmented breath uses stepped inhale or exhale pauses to build lung control and calm—useful when equal-count breathing feels too flat.
Viloma segmented breath pauses inhale or exhale in two to three steps—sip-pause-sip on the way in, or stair-step exhale—expanding lung control and interoception. It calms racing minds when equal-count breath feels too simple.
Practice lying down for five minutes; never strain throat or jaw. Contraindicated with acute asthma flare-ups.
