Breathing Series: Compilation

In these times of stress and uncertainty, animators often feel a lack of control that causes us to be unaware that we are breathing more rapidly and further elevating our cortisol levels. Our latest set focuses on four-square breathing or box breathing. The viewer inhales for four seconds, holds for four seconds, exhales for four seconds, and holds for four seconds before inhaling again. Modern research has shown that even slight adjustments to how we inhale and exhale can greatly benefit our physical and mental health. The animations were created primarily for social media viewing for animators with a square format as the primary viewing layout and added side panels for 16x9 versioning.
