### In the lessons

In science and PE, breathing has two parts: inhalation (in) and exhalation (out); during exhalation the diaphragm relaxes and the chest gets smaller, and we breathe out more carbon dioxide. In calm and mindfulness lessons, a slow exhalation helps you relax. Phrases: «slow exhalation», «on the exhalation».
