Hello darling! Spring is here, isn’t it? The lovely scent of flowers, the sun’s heartwarming touch… But there’s also that famous spring fatigue. Maybe it’s happened to you, that state of not being able to shake off the sluggishness of winter…
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! But I have good news. There’s a very easy way to boost your energy and feel the joy of spring inside: Breathing exercises.
Yes, you heard right. By dedicating just a few minutes, you can transform yourself into someone completely different with the right breathing techniques. How?
Actually, the truth is this: We move less in the winter months, we are exposed to less sunlight, and therefore our body produces less energy. As nature comes to life with spring, we may have difficulty adapting to this change. That’s exactly where breathing comes in.
Breathing correctly allows more oxygen to enter our body. This helps our cells work more efficiently, increases our energy, and clarifies our mind. Just imagine how your shoulders relax and your mind calms down when you take a deep breath…
So, which breathing exercises are ideal for capturing the spring energy?
- Diaphragmatic Breathing (Belly Breathing): This is the most basic and most effective breathing technique. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Feel your stomach expand as you inhale and deflate as you exhale. Your chest should move as little as possible. Practice for 5-10 minutes several times a day.
- Ujjayi Breath (Ocean Breath): This breathing technique is often used in yoga. Keep your mouth closed and breathe in and out, making a slight sound from your throat. It’s like listening to the sound of ocean waves… This breath calms the nervous system and reduces stress.
- Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana): This breathing technique helps balance the flow of energy. Close your right nostril and inhale through your left nostril. Then close your left nostril and exhale through your right nostril. Continue in the same way.
Remember, the important thing is to practice regularly. You can make a big difference even by dedicating just a few minutes each day.

I hope these tips help you and you enjoy the spring to the fullest. Take care of yourself!
