Summary

This study tested whether an 8-week SKY breath meditation program is practical and beneficial for healthy adults. Researchers measured stress, anxiety, and happiness using surveys and wearable devices, and also looked at changes in blood markers. The goal was to see if this simple breathing practice could help people feel better and handle stress more easily.
