Step 1
Fill your mouth with water and practice pushing a stream of water out using only the muscles in your tongue and cheek. Keep your lungs out of this. Breathe through your nose while doing this and stay relaxed. Perhaps try this in the shower.
-
Step 2
Find a cup of water and a straw. Twist one end of the straw, effectively cutting off most of the air flow. Put the twisted end in the cup of water and the other end in your mouth. Force air through the straw into the water creating bubbles while breathing in and out through your nose. Keep the flow of air smooth and the bubbles consistent.
-
Step 3
Transition slowly from breathing both in and out of your nose to just breathing in. Breathe out through the straw into the water, creating a non stop flow of bubbles. Practice this until your muscle contractions feel completely natural and you're producing a smooth flow of bubbles. You're now circular breathing.
-
Step 4
Move on to your didgeridoo. Keeping your cup and straw close, do the same breathing techniques to the didgeridoo (imagine it's just a larger straw). If this is difficult (and it probably is), pick up your cup and straw and continue practicing. Move back to the didgeridoo after a bit, and keep moving back and forth until you've successfully done circular breathing with the didgeridoo.

Step 5
Circular breathe for at least half an hour each day. Start out with whatever time increment you can--10 seconds, 20 seconds, a few minutes--and work your way up over time. Remember to use the cup and straw for additional practice.
