Join Zakiya to lengthen and strengthen your breath to find calm and regulation. Belly breathing, also called diaphragmatic breathing, helps to slow down and deepen the breath which can help anxiety and stress symptoms. You can do this from a chair, cushions on the floor, your sofa, or wherever is comfortable for you. In belly breathing, you'll consciously move your breath down from your chest to what feels like your belly, allowing it to rise and fall with the breath.
