A Breathing Series: Strengthen Your Diaphragm

This practice supports you to strengthen your diaphragm muscle. Like every other muscle in your body, your diaphragm needs to be used effectively in order to stay strong & supple. A strong & supple diaphragm is essential for your mental, emotional & physical health. If you struggle with traditional seated belly breathing, then this practice will bring a whole new way to engage with this practice. This practice is done lying face down on the ground or bed. If you cannot do this practice lying face down, you can do it lying face up. This practice is taken from day 3 of my 10-day course here on Insight Timer 'The Breath - Heal Your Life From The Inside Out'.

Reviews

I can feel how this practice will help improve my regular breathing. Great guidance. Thank you. 🙏❤️

This is very helpful. I sometimes struggle to recognize when I should be belly breathing versus breathing from the diaphragm up through the chest. As a runner, I want to increase my capacity for breathing at my best and sometimes not just when running when stress hits or anxiety hits , the first thing that I do is hold my breath. I look forward to listening to more of your meditations on breathing.

Love all of Rachel's breathing exercises! If you haven't taken her course yet, DO IT! It's amazing!! I thought I knew a lot about breathing but I learned so much and am so motivated to do the exercises now!
