Participants will engage in weekly breathing exercises. They will be trained once a week for 4 weeks, and will use an app called Inner Balance and an device called Firstbeat Bodyguard 3 to track data about their hearts while practicing the exercises at home for 10 minutes a day, twice a day, once before bedtime.
