How many breaths do you take per minute? When you take over 12 breaths/minute, you activate sympathetic state (lower brain of fight or flight) whereas if you take less than 12 breaths/minute, you activate parasympathetic state (higher brain of calm, safe and connects to enlightened spiritual brain). This is a long, slow and deep yin practice focus on 6 breaths per minute to optimise your blood pressure, relaxation and set you up for a good night sleep.
