Implementation
Ask all participants to keep some space between them to avoid collision.
Ask participants to lie down and to place a hand on their stomach. Explain that they will be working on their breathing; breathing is important for managing emotions, because when we feel stressed, we breathe poorly, for example.
Remind them when they inhale through their nose, they must inflate their stomach and when they exhale, the stomach must be widen. And ask them to think about the circuit of air in the body, through the nose, the throat, the lungs.
Do it by counting at the end: four times to inhale, four block breathing, four exhale.
