Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing

[@isobelmoore7025]

This is a seriously underrated video that everyone should do. I do two or three sets of these most nights and the difference is crazy.I go from very tight to being able to breathe smoothly. When I last saw my chiropractor she was adjusting me around the ribs/diaphragm area and asked what I’d been doing because my diaphragm felt stronger and I’d only been doing these for two weeks or so! I use the video but skip to about 3:20 and repeat. Also it’s really great to help relax tight and overworked pelvic floor muscles! Thank you so much ☺️

I did not follow any instruction but just breathed this way with pillow as demonstrated and i felt no other choice but to belly breathe naturally. Gr8 and thanks.

[@jeanmader2302]

So glad to see this video...I believe it has lowered my apnea numbers, and blood pressure. My husband shallow breathes, and I have tried to explain about stale, air etc. Hopefully this will help him understand it better. The most helpful thing I learned is to have the person let all their air out first. Voila...Hopefully, LOL...He .makes me crazy on purpose, I swear. Thank you. I will save this for him. Bles you.

just actively relax and do the asana - it comes - expanding the belly is a crutch and a learning tool that should be discarded after you start diaphragmatic breathing - unless you breathe really badly you do not need this at all - some asanas almost force you to breathe deep - like inverting the head below the heart , forward bends and more - breathing consciously BUT without thinking about it first is the key - Refer to Iyengar - he specifically says do not expand the belly - look at top athletes - they do not expand the belly - look at videos that show the action of the muscle there - it is straight down - not down and out - if your belly expands sometimes OK but force nothing, mentally direct as little as possible- let it flow. Another Key is to be sure you let out all your air on the exhale - then your body naturally breathes in

I teach this to swimmers when they are ready to get really good. It's a must.

[@deborahhall4848]

Love this demonstration for diaphragmatic breathing! It's challenging because I thought I was breathing.

[@samvollmer]

Really great video... so many approaches to describing how to belly breathe...here very practical, calm, and precise... Just to be certain I didn't miss something, at 2:27, is the message "as you exhale the [diaphragm] passively relaxes. If you like, at the end of that, you can even engage the abdomen slightly during that pause..."? Thanks so much

[@rosemariesanfilippo1542]

Great information : ) I have a question. When you say pause at the end of each inhale & exhale. Do you mean to hold your breath or flow into the breath in & out as far as you can exceed if you can't inhale & exhale up to 10 secs? Please reply. Thank you. Rose

[@paranormalman1967s]

great video thanks

[@linglingpho]

is this in or out

[@zumbafanification51]

May I ask in pilates they call their breathing laterally. In your opinion as Yoga practitioner is diaphragm breathing is better or both have different functions. Thanks

I just followed along, and loved it! Thank you. ~ Mrs. Bruce

[@PaulCarterArt]

Great example of proper breathing into the diagram area, thank you 👍🏼

[@jeanmader2302]

Everything that is Not abdomen, is irrelevant. LOL That diagram is a strong statement. How creative.

[@harrlax]

breathing out is it through the nose or mouth. I'm enjoying this lesson. Thank you Harriet

[@BKofficer23]

I'm having a tough time naturally breathing this way. I have to think about it, except during strenuous exercise. Anyone know how long it should take form me to not have to think about it?

[@kailashv9]

BKofficer23 he he "JUST DO IT" every day....😇 Just keep it Going brother, YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE...

[@sanekabc]

Also limit the amount the belly itself expands upwards. Many people do this wrong. They think they are doing diaphragmatic breathing but they are just breathing into their belly up and down, the abdomen is not the stomach. Think in terms of expanding the lower lungs sideways. This is why the term "belly" breathing has thrown people off from doing this correctly. And many videos on youtube explain it incorrectly. Not this one. :-)

[@skeiltte]

Can you please link to the bell sound? I could really use that to calm. Thank you. =)

I can only inhale for 7 seconds and I feel muscle spasms on my right side of diaphram while inhaling for more than 5 seconds. What's going on here?

[@debasishburman3624]

can i deep breathe anytime or only in empty stomach?

[@supreetsingh2119]

After 2 hours of eating. If u have taken small snacks u can do it immediately

[@rezmela3872]

hmm ... belly breathing is not diaphragmatic breathing. I see lots of confusions created here... am sorry. Very surprised that this video is coming from Daily Bandha. Yes the thoracic cage has to expand (not by tilting or flaring up... but expanding equally in all directions). Key here is to touch the upper palate with the tip of the tongue during inhale (so that the upper chest muscles and shoulder muscles relaxes) and paying special attention to the upper chest muscles ... they need to be absolutely relaxed) when the diaphragm moves down. Do this exercise while in 90 90 posture... and experience the difference.

[@hobi1kenobi112]

Thanks! Great vid too.

what is normalbreathing then?

[@JOwenBall]

Watch a baby breathe, and you will see the correct manner of brething.

[@soul76can]

Question: 1. I am pushing my belly out during the inhale but I am feeling it in my lower spine, tension/twinge/pain. What am I doing wrong? Pushing too hard? Are we to push our bellies as far out as they will go during the inhale? Because that is what I am doing...Any help or advice? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@QuinnPatrickAnkrum]

Don't try to push your belly out. The action of your diaphragm will displace your viscera, which is what causes the abdominal muscles to move outward.

[@jackbalitok3910]

If you feel you stomach getting warm, you're doing just fine.

[@tekbirrai4263]

I love it, thank you !

[@mihirs.m.5635]

Very helpful 👌👌

[@antoniozammit5491]

Dear narrator, you have a great voice, but I suspect that you did not master the belly breathing. You told us how to do it but I hear a policeman in your voice trying to keep the air from rushing out. Correct me if I am wrong. Sorry

[@adriandelacruz1052]

I have one question, if you inhale your belly bigger or smaller?

[@nicolashaelewijn5061]

bigger

[@dannguyentrong7460]

I lke this.

[@Zetsuke4]

Good

[@25Udit]

breathe in from nose and out from mouth..( exhale time double)

[@paulalbornoz9343]

check yoga only nose

[@HobbitHanny]

Paul Albornoz Actors and singers should exhale from the mouth :)

[@joshuahibburt191]

I breath like that all the time. Is that not a normal way of breathing?

[@QuinnPatrickAnkrum]

Yes, it is the normal way of breathing ... there is nothing special about yogic breathing, other than the fact that it is an extended version of "normal" breathing.
