Simhasana or lion's breath may help reduce cortisol fast

Yoga experts suggest Simhasana or lion's breath as a 40-second exercise that may help lower stress hormone cortisol. It activates the Vagus nerve, shifting the body from stress mode to relaxation mode, improving sleep, reducing tension, and supporting overall calm. Studies suggest it may temporarily reduce cortisol levels, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment or therapy.
