A 3-day retreat teaching Shambhavi Mahamudra kriya, a yogic practice combining deep breathing and meditation, followed by 21 minutes of daily practice for 6 weeks, led to lower perceived stress and higher general well-being among 142 adults (mean age 43). The findings suggest this practice may serve as a natural approach to reducing stress.
