Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique

Breathe in slowly and deeply so that you feel your belly rise under your hand. You may also notice your lower rib cage move wide under your other hand – remember the focus is upon keeping the upper chest muscles relaxed and using the diaphragm to breathe. This technique can be cued by thinking to “breathe into the belly”.

Breathe out by letting the rib cage fall back to resting. You should feel a gentle rise and fall of your belly under your hand.
