Carla's note
Five minutes of pranayama, sitting on the floor or on a chair. It begins with the complete breath, one hand on the chest and the other on the belly, then seven deep breaths only through the left nostril, Chandra Bhedana, which cools and calms, and seven only through the right nostril, Surya Bhedana, which warms and energises. Between them, the shoulders are released and the back realigned. It closes with the hands together in front of the heart.Carla Gonçalves

A chair is perfect. Breathe without forcing and, if you feel dizzy, return to normal breathing for a moment.
If you already practise
Lengthen each breath out a little more and stay for a minute of silence at the end.
