Yes, there are hundreds of ways to get creative with your breath and to practice breath work, but you NEED these two breaths at your foundation of breath work and movement.
You inhale through your nose while your diaphragm and pelvic floor (parallel to each other) lower and exhale through your nose while your diaphragm and pelvic floor naturally return back to neutral.
We call it diaphragm breathing because your diaphragm is the major muscle of respiration and stability. It is very important to utilize your diaphragm for what it’s designed to do.
This breath is initiated the same way as the diaphragm breath. However, on the exhale the pelvic floor and all the surrounding core musculature meet the resistance of the internal pressure that has been created.
Practice diaphragm breathing and stability breaths. With external stressors and movement compensation patterns, I guarantee that these may not come as natural to some of us as they once did when we were small humans.
