Breathing With a Sphere


The hoberman sphere is a useful visual tool to calm and focus individuals before teaching by taking long, slow breaths. Deep breaths can reduce stress, alert the brain that it’s time to learn, and aid students in controlling their actions and words.

Before starting, sit in mountain pose and look at the hoberman sphere. Now breathe in slowly as the hoberman sphere expands and breathe out as the sphere contracts. Continue this rhythm for 5-10 breaths or until you feel calm and centered.
