I thought we could get a thread going about breathing techniques that you've found to be beneficial in your life.

Lately I've been experimenting with the "breath of fire". It's basically controlled hyperventilation.

It's awesome in between exercises for recovery. And it also gets your emotions under control in times of stress.

What are your favorite techniques?

Tactical Breathing.

Breathing is the only way your body can lose weight. All of the calories you burn end up producing carbon dioxide which can only exit via your lungs. A good reason to make gas exchange as efficient as possible.

How is the breath of fire good for recovery?

[VincentVinturi]

I don't know the how but try it in between sets and see for yourself.

I mean cardiovascular recovery specifically.

What about nasal breathing versus mouth breathing?
