I follow these simple rules for breathing

  1. Breathe to stomach not chest.
  2. Breathe by nose (unless swimming or underwater).
  3. Inhalation time and exhalation time should be equal and gap between inhalation and exhalation should be sum of it. If it takes x seconds to inhale exhalation should begin after 2x seconds and should finish in x seconds

 Retention (2x) = inhalation time (x) + exhalation time (x).

All the pranayam and yogic techniques try to make it natural to have this pattern and symmetry in our breathing process.
