For taking deep breath:
You should first inhale air through your nostrils so as to fill up your lower lungs. During the inhalation, your abdomen will swell slowly because your thorax will rise and your diaphragm will be flattened. If inhalation continues, your upper lungs will be filled with air too, your rib cage will move upward and your thorax cavity will enlarge, this process generally takes about 5 seconds. Then hold your breath for 5 seconds. Keep practising this kind of breath for a while and you can gradually hold your breath up to 10 seconds or more. After your lungs get enough oxygen, exhale your breath slowly, your rib cage and thorax will move back to their original positions. Wait for a second or two, start the whole process again, and continue for 10 minutes. Keep practising it and your body will gradually adopt this breathing method.
For taking quiet breath:

After that, start the whole process again by pressing your left nostril. Repeat 5 times for each nostril.
