5-Minute Online Breathwork to Calm Your Nervous System

In a world that moves fast, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause — and breathe.

At Prana & Co, we believe in the transformative power of just five mindful minutes a day. Whether you're starting your morning, shifting between tasks, or unwinding in the evening, this short breathwork ritual is a simple way to calm your nervous system and reconnect to yourself.

Why Breathwork Works

Breathwork isn’t just a trend — it’s a science-backed practice proven to:

  • Lower stress levels

  • Improve focus and mental clarity

  • Regulate your emotions

  • Support heart and nervous system health

The magic lies in its ability to shift your body from a fight-or-flight state into rest and restore — fast.

Try This: Coherent Breathing (5-Minute Practice)

This gentle technique helps regulate your heart rate and reset your nervous system in minutes.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Find a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably.

  2. Inhale slowly for a count of 5.

  3. Exhale slowly for a count of 5.

  4. Repeat this rhythm for 5 minutes, breathing in and out through your nose.

  5. Optional: Place a hand on your heart or belly to feel the rise and fall.

You can use a timer or follow along with our free guided session on the Prana & Co platform.

  • Increase Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

  • Boost your mood

  • Anchor you in the present moment

This is your nervous system saying, thank you.
