By Sunvior Editorial Team · Updated June 11, 2026

What is coherent breathing?

Coherent breathing aims for a slow, even pace — commonly around six breaths per minute — to promote physiological balance and improved focus.

How to do it

Breathe slowly in and out with even counts, aiming for about a 5-second inhale and 5-second exhale. Use a gentle timer or guided audio to keep the rhythm.
