What do you think is the most effective breathing exercise to increase energy and focus? e.g. an exercise you might do before starting to write code.

I like 6 seconds in thru the nose, 2 seconds out thru the mouth (forcefully) for about 90 seconds, but would love to hear your thoughts!



Usually, a longer exhale is more relaxing - look up rectangle breathing. Also worth having a go at 'cyclic sighing'.
