4:4 Belly Breathing Practice - (Supine)

Belly breathing is the first step in a student's breathing practice. Many of us are chest breathers and unaware of how to fully utilize our diaphragm when breathing. Practicing on our backs in a supine position is great for beginners and helps to foster this mind-body awareness and correct use of the diaphragm. This combined with a balancing 4:4 breathing count can help regulate our nervous system, improve digestion, stress, and even our sleep.
