The exercises practiced in each session followed a structured sequence which includes pursed-lip breathing for 5 minutes, followed by box breathing for 3-4 minutes and 4-7-8 breathing for 5 minutes, diaphragmatic breathing for 4 minutes, and alternate nostril breathing for about 5 minutes. Students maintained proper posture, eye closure, and breath awareness throughout, with short relaxation intervals between exercises, and concluded with relaxation by placing the palms over the eyes.
