4-6 breathing
Breathe out a little longer than you breathe in. The simplest place to start.
Guided breathing exercises
Breathe at your own pace
Nearly fifty breathings to calm down, sleep, focus or wake up. A sun rises as you breathe in and sinks as you breathe out; all you do is follow it.
No accounts. Your practice and your breathings stay on your device.
Six slow breaths: 4 seconds in, 6 seconds out.

Box breathing 4-4-4-4
Four equal counts: in, hold, out, hold.
4-7-8 breathing
In for 4, hold for 7, out through the mouth for 8. Four cycles are enough.
