Belly Breathing

Belly Breathing is a deep breathing technique at the core of many mindfulness and relaxation practices. It may take a little bit of practice to get right, but it is well worth the effort!
Belly breathing activates our parasympathetic nervous system which slows our heart rate and puts us into a state of rest. It's needed for a healthy nervous system and helps us to feel calm and relaxed.
* We’re not actually breathing into the stomach, we’re expanding the diaphragm which causes the belly to extend outwards.
