This is an empowering basement breath practice.

You'll start seated upright,

Shifting your weight side to side,

Getting rooted,

Grounded through your hips,

Through your core.

Also tall,

Upright through the spine,

Broad through your shoulders.

Deep breath in all the way,

Inhale big.

Exhale everything out.

And then extend the exhale even more,

Even more rounding your spine,

Really getting animated with the movement.

Inhale tall,

Open chest,

Shoulders pulling back.

And as you exhale,

Blow out the exhale,

Smooth to start and then powerful for that last 20%.

Exhale,

Squeeze it all out.

Deep breath in tall.

Exhale long,

Smooth to start.

And then at that last 20% rounding,

Core contracting,

Squeezing,

Press,

Press,

Press,

Everything,

Everything.

Deep breath in and then let it go,

Relax.

Shift your weight again.

Another component to think about is as you're inhaling,

Your hips can tilt forward and that'll help you lift tall.

And as you exhale,

Your tail tucks underneath.

So you're exhaling,

Tail tucking,

And that'll help you round and blow out to the full capacity.

Now,

What we will do,

Another deep breath in.

You're gonna exhale and press to the very,

Very bottom,

Everything,

And then hold it at the very bottom.

We're pushing,

Exhale smooth,

All the way out,

Squeeze and hold.

You're gonna inhale 25% and then press right back down.

A little bit in and exhale everything.

In a little bit,

Exhale everything.

Push,

Push,

Push,

Twice as fast.

Further,

Further,

Further.

One more all the way in,

Tall,

Deep,

All the way,

Tall.

Hold this breath for three,

Two,

Strong core,

Strong spine,

Strong shoulders.

Let it go,

Exhale,

Relax your shoulders.

Relax your posture,

Shift your weight.

And find stillness,

Yet stay connected to a slow pressing to the bottom of your exhale.

So this is a very slow,

Integrated version of this breath practice where you're filling up all the way,

Slow and deep.

And then exhaling all the way out with a little bit less of a squeeze,

But still getting to the bottom.

And pushing out to the very bottom.

Very good,

Thank you for breathing.
