“I see, maybe you notice that as well, in our society, we don’t have time for anything. There’s always something to do, we always need to do more. So our breathing is very shallow. And if you experience ever performance anxiety, also our breathing gets very shallow. So it’s good thing to breathe, take time to breathe. And if you want a little tip for the performance anxiety, longer exhales calm the body down. I often say counting in, counting for three for inhale.

So maybe whenever you feel stressed and overwhelmed, just longer exhales will bring you back to the present moment.” — Michaela Bartoskova Voice, Singing and Yoga Coach Watch the full episode at https://musicalitynow.com/278
