Pilates Breathing 🌬101 (10 Minutes) | Pilates with Amanda

The fact of the matter is that most of us don't maximize our potential capacity for a deeper core connection when breathing during our Pilates practice. When your breath work improves, you'll notice how much harder your working during exercise. By working your rib cage to its full potential, you no longer have to compensate by relying on your neck and shoulder muscles to get that maximum airflow. The neck and shoulder muscles can finally RELAX and return to their designated jobs. In this video, ill teach you two types of breathing exercises that serve different purposes.
1. Diaphragmatic Breathing (Belly Breathing)
2. Lateral Breathing (Side-body breathing or accordion breathing)
If finding a deeper connection to your center and a greater capacity for air sounds enticing to you, then you should definitely watch this video. Not only will you learn how to enhance your workout but you'll finally give your neck and shoulders a rest! They don't need to work so hard in order for YOU to breath. Let them do their designated jobs. Let's find more space in your ribcage and allow the breathe to work for us, not against us.

Can you please tell us when we use the Diaphragmatic and when the lateral breathing during exercise?

[@AM2K2]

Hi - great video. You should put this out again but under the title 'how to fix rib flare/over extension' because this has been the solution for my problems :)

[@Pilateswithamandab]

Thanks so much! I think I will do that! If you have any other video Requests, please share! Would love to help you more!

@@Pilateswithamandab I'm going to check out your other videos on abs/core. I've realised that half my issues were coming from weak core which causes rib flare and then in turn starts to initiate compensations all across the chain. I've been massaging my back and neck tightness which all resulted from a misallingment from the ribs - I've been wasting my time dealing with symptoms rather than the root cause! Anyway, if you packaged this videos message together with some core exercises under a title something like 'Rib Flare / Hyperlordosis fix' I'm sure it will do good numbers for your channel. You could throw in 'reduce anxiety' too because we are more prone to a parasympathetic state when we can't breathe properly and fully. I just found another pilates video which covers some of this stuff if you want inspiration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXbPhadufd1keNU

@@AM2K2 thanks so much for the detailed message! I will definitely add a video addressing the things you’ve mentioned. It’s all so important and I appreciate the inspiration! I hope you enjoy the rest of my content. More coming soon!

[@imanielohiykem3751]

Eventually I will learn how to combine both of these breathing techniques together while doing Pilates movement??

[@Pilateswithamandab]

Yes! It take time…a lot of time! so don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t happen right away.

[@gelizabeth6288]

Could you please help, as to what to do if you are gripping your upper ab, so that TA is not activated fully...

[@EdwardPrah]

Hello Amanda. If I want to get my transverse abdominis (ta) stronger by doing the side rib breathing (pilates breathing), can I do it daily? I want my posture to improve for singing and I think the ta is one of my weak areas. Thanks.

[@Pilateswithamandab]

Absolutely!! You can do this daily! Multiple times a day,even. The more you practice, the better!

[@EdwardPrah]

@@Pilateswithamandab Awesome! Thank you so much!
