Unlock Your Voice-Pelvic Floor Connection: Say Goodbye To Psoas Snark

[@lynnfrench8983]

Nice you are teaching this. My karate teacher had us tie the belt up around the kidney area for an exercise he called kidney breathing. My opera teacher taught some note toning and holding techniques.

Thank you.

You're welcome!

And are these breathing postures part of improving voice to pelvic floor connection?

[@DrGingerGarner]

Breathwork is definitely the foundation of improving voice to pelvic floor connection!

I notice tension/some clenching in my jaw, front of neck despite just having done jaw massage.

[@DrGingerGarner]

Changing ongoing tension is far more complex than doing a single massage. Permanent change requires taking a further step - including improving postural and jaw habits, resting jaw position, sleep posturing, and ergonomics - just for starters.

But how?

[@DrGingerGarner]

By learning how to mobilize the diaphragm - notice the changes in angle of the costal angle. That's called umbrella breathing - or lateral costal breathing. That's your first step - get control of your ribcage movement where you expand laterally, not flare frontally.

Whats the trick to this?? I thought i was rib cage breathing but by belly clearly flares. So how do we inflate the rib cage but NOT the belly ??

[@DrGingerGarner]

@@AceMaverickM You don't do one or the other - you do both. :)

Make sure don’t have a backward jaw while doing this is Very important
