Yoga breathing techniques offer a practical solution. Yoga has become a common form of stress management and exercise for overworked executives, and you can practice yogic breathing exercises without going to a yoga class.Try this 1-minute breathing exercise to boost blood oxygen and productivityProfessional yoga therapist Felice Rhiannon uses this one-minute breath practice whenever she’s feeling frazzled or restless.
