Box Breathing Lesson Plan created by International Yoga Teacher, Natalie Hodkinson.

A ready-to-use Box Breathing Lesson Plan designed to help students improve focus, emotional regulation, and breathing control through a simple, structured breathing technique.

The lesson focuses on controlled breathing, timing, and calm awareness, making it ideal for PE lessons, wellbeing sessions, yoga units, or pre-exam mindfulness activities. Suitable for KS3–KS5 students, it can be delivered by both specialist and non-specialist teachers and works effectively as a standalone lesson or as part of a wider mindfulness or mental health programme.
