Hong Kong-based yoga and meditation teacher, Delia Leung shares simple breathing techniques to reduce daily stress

It's easy to feel overwhelmed in a city as demanding as Hong Kong, and in the midst of the fast-paced madness, it can sometimes feel like we're rushing through life while holding our breath. But with holistic healing on the rise and meditation becoming more prominent across the city, we're learning now more than ever the importance of taking a moment to inhale, exhale, and let it all go.
