Janid Ortiz, director of partnership marketing at Discover Puerto Rico and certified yoga teacher, knows the power of a deep breath.

"I turned to breathing techniques as a teenager to cope with panic and anxiety," she said. "After all these years, I find it is still the most powerful tool to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and focus on the now. Mindful breathing can help anyone achieve incredible health benefits, from lowering your heart rate and blood pressure to reducing depression and managing chronic pain. It's the most important component of any yoga and/or meditation practice - and it's available to us anytime, anywhere!"
