Day 3. Before bed
1st cycle: 10 breaths, pause 33 sec.
2nd cycle: 13 breaths, pause 36 sec.
3rd cycle: 15 breaths, pause 35 sec.
I remembered the practice late today; it was already night, and yawning made it difficult to breathe normally. Apparently, that is why the pauses were like this.

Day 4.
In the morning
3 cycles of 10 breaths, pause 22 sec.
Late in the evening
3 cycles of 10 breaths, pause 25 sec.
To be honest, I am surprised by my results: my pause is getting shorter every day
No, during the breathing practice it increases, or at least does not decrease compared with the pause after the 1st cycle, but compared with the first day, it has almost halved, although theoretically it should be the other way around... 
I am probably doing something wrong, or maybe I have become too fixated on this pause and tense up psychologically when I need not to breathe, which in turn affects my physiology... I don't know. During the breathing cycles, my limbs become warmer, which indicates good physical relaxation. But the pause is a problem. Still, I hope it is beneficial for my body, at least because of the regularity. We'll see. I will keep observing.

Have a good day, everyone! Based on my observations, the breath-hold pause has also been getting shorter in recent days. As the teacher said at the very beginning, there is no competition here; the results are individual. In my case, for example, the first time I took 6 full breaths—and even that could barely be called breaths. Not much time has passed, and now I take 15 breaths, but the breath itself is completely different: my lung capacity has increased, my rib cage opens better, and at this stage that is more important to me and is a good indicator. After the exercises, my cheeks become flushed; they never did before.) Based on my observations, you need to relax before the exercise, especially during the pause; you must not force yourself to hold the pause, as has already been said here. After the exercise, I feel energized. I wish you success!
