About this breath

Close your lips and exhale slowly on a long "mmm."

In yoga it's called bhramari. Studies have found that humming raises nitric oxide in the nasal passages.

Good to know

If you feel dizzy or short of breath, stop and breathe normally. If you're pregnant or have a respiratory condition, skip the breath-holds.
