At one of my yoga classes, my teacher suggested this breathing technique. This is a great way to calm down and relax.
Unlike other breathing exercises that don't employ breath counting or have uneven intervals between each step, box breathing is unique because it has four equal steps, similar to the four sides of a square.
Keeping true to box breathing's rule of fours, the method has four steps:
1) Slowly inhale for four seconds.
2) Hold your breath for four seconds.
3) Slowly exhale for four seconds.
4) Hold your breath for four seconds.
