A short daily breathing discipline taught by a living lineage — and why its health claims matter.
3-Step Rhythmic Breathing (3SRB) is a breathing system rooted in Patanjali's yoga tradition, taught by Yogi Sri Soli Tavaria and, since his passing, by his disciple Rajen Vakil. Its central premise is that a great deal of physical, emotional and psychological imbalance has its roots in irregular breathing, and that a short, specific daily practice can correct it.
The health side is the point of it. Most adults breathe fast, shallow and irregularly, and the body reads that pattern as a low-grade emergency: raised resting heart rate, higher blood pressure, poorer digestion and sleep, and a nervous system that never quite stands down. Every breath practice in Delve is, at bottom, a way of teaching the body a slower, more regular rhythm — 3SRB's claim is that a specific rhythm, held daily, does this most directly.
We haven't been taught the specific three steps, and neither of the organisation's own sites publishes them — the technique is taught through their courses, not given away on a website. So this page doesn't attempt to teach it, and Delve won't guide a version of it. If it sounds like what you're looking for, the people who actually teach it are the right place to go.
