Can practicing breathing techniques reduce stress, and if so, how?

[Suzane]

Engaging in deep breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing or mindfulness meditation activates the body's relaxation response, reducing stress hormones like cortisol and promoting a sense of calm. These techniques can also improve oxygen flow, lower blood pressure, and enhance overall well-being when practiced regularly.

[Ginger]

These breathing techniques can really help and this is why Yoga is gaining so much popularity in most of the countries.
