For beginners, rhythmic breathing technique is advisable for you as it helps to establish basis for pranayama practice specially for people with shallow breaths. Persons of any age or health condition can practice them as long as they could breathe without difficulties.

Breathing rhythmically involves basically how you breathe and the simultaneous inflow, retention and outflow of breaths within the rhythmic pattern. Its rate slows down while following a relaxed rhythm and wear and tear is reduced for the internal organs since this relaxes the body.
