I did some quick googling and it seems like there's some preliminary research that indicates it might help you reduce stress[0]. But I wonder how this stacks up against going for a jog or riding a bike, which have a well established record of reducing stress, and have other benefits.

Complementary and synergistic. Why pick breath training or vigorous exercise when you can just do both?

I think it leaves you physically stronger and mentally calmer. YMMV but it works for me.

It is like breathing more in sync with your center of gravity, it stabilizes you, which makes you calmer, may stimulate your digestive functions as well.
