Here's a guided exercise 1, and a video with more explanation can be found here 2. You shouldn't forcefully exhale completely; just let go of your breath. Also, sit or lie down; don't stand or do anything else. Initial scientific evidence related to auto-immune diseases here 3, although please don't mistake interviews with Hof with science. For example his comments about "charging your body with oxygen" and "alkaline blood" are completely off; a proper explanation can be found here 4. 1 link to this video 2 link 3 link 4 link
