Well this makes far more sense! Thank you.

Oh!!! You astonishing person you’ve cleared up the utter confusion I had about belly breathing :Patrick from Ireland thank you xxx

The "advantage" of "belly breathing" is to enlage the belly muscle, make belly bigger! Just look at the athletic, football players to see how they breath! They breath naturally,instinctively: inhale through chest, not belly! And most of their body look great and strong. There is just one way that the air can go into the body through nostril/mouth - trachea - lungs. Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges.

I’m a true 100% belly breather. I have been for 28 years due to severe rib injury from being hit by a truck while riding my horse. Now that my ribs finally moved back into place and are no longer sitting on my sternum I’m trying to chest breath. Wish my luck as it’s not going very well :)

Thank you for a very clear description and helpful demo.

OMG thank you so much! I need to get my yoga and Pilates students to watch this - it validates me!!

I wish this video reaches to everyone 😍..Thank you ..Got all cleared about belly and chest breathing

wow, thanks! The most effective advice ever! I've seen vids about diaphram breat I'm a chest breather but do belly breathing when singing. I've seen videos about diaphram breathing, chest breathing, and belly breathing, and some say diaphram is better, while others say belly is better and i can't tell which is good anymore. moreover, i dont understand what a diaphram is till this day.

You are a godsend. I am so grateful for your videos. Thank you thank you thank you

Thank you so much !

I'm trying to learn how to chest breath, I'm a mouth breather and find it hard to breath through my nose, but I have radiation treatment and now need to practice to hold my breath. ugh. this kinda helped better than what the actually drs say in the radiation videos

I tried breathwork (wim hof) and was doing it wrong (chest only) and I ended up having a phase of bad anxiety/panic (something I have never experienced in my life before). I know good breathing is great to help relax and stay calm but now I'm worried about trying it again!

thank you for sharing this!

I've been doing belly breathing for few years, you're right! I didn't move my chest, I really trained myself to do this. This was such a bad thing to do. Now I have chest tightness, pulls my jaw. I wish I never did this

Best video 🙏🏼

Question, I understand the concept of your ribs expanding on a big deep breath and your stomach and chest should both lift. What I need to know, is how should you be breathing on the normal, middle of the day shallow breaths? Should those come from your chest or stomach? I have recently had severe panic attacks & anxiety and have been told to breath from my belly and not just my chest (which is where my normal shallow breath comes from). I'm struggling to engage both my chest & stomach in a shallow breath. Please let me know. Thank you! :)

Well stated! Not good or bad

Would you recommend doing this 360 breathing whilst walking?

Thank you soooo muchhh

Omg this eared all my questions about chest/belly breathing. For more than 10 years i had been a chest breather. Then i knew about belly breathing so for several months i switched to belly (only)breathing and it soon felt as awkward. I feel that so many people say your chest shouldnt move,which should be actually wrong. May i ask you a question?now that we have learned about how to correctly breathe in, what should we focus on when we exhale? Is it just relaxing and let the air out without thinking about anything? Thank you!

Hello. The 360 breathing that you described here is practiced solely when you have your back straight? Or can it be practiced equally well whilst sitting uncomfortably/with the back arched?

Hello. Do you recommend engaging the pelvic floor on this 360 type of breathing?

May I ask what is the difference between this 360 type of breathing and the full yogic breathing? Maybe in the yogic breathing there is more emphasis on directing more air on the (lower) abdomen than on the ribcage? Thanks

I seem to find myself chest breathing and then feeling like I’m not getting enough air. Then I focus and remind myself to belly and chest breath and I feel better. But I often go back to chest breathing how do I fix this. Do I need to retrain myself ?

So I am a server and I've been serving about 3 years now and I can only carry a tray on one side of mu body I try my best to not lift to heavy items and bend my knees but most restaurants are concrete flooring with carpet which has a effect over time when I tell you this I thibk of school when they say you should switch you bag to the other shoulder sometimes if you have one strap to balance your body alignment is there any stretches or exercise you know of because I feel like my body ia in a lean sometimes

Hello. Is the 360 breathing that you described here also applicable in a standing position?

I find it hard to do this especially when sitting upright and standing upright. I just end up chest breathing and raising my shoulders to get a deep breath. May I ask how to improve this?

So I had Covid ( badly ( and now I’m breathing all chest & stomach, my ribs don’t move. I think this is still contributing to my body tightness/ breathing issues. If I don’t feel the ribs moving how do I get them to move? I understand the why, I just can’t figure out how

I have a problem.... I was breathing with my chest but nowadays I'm a used to belly.... And now I can't switch to chest plz help

Sounds real weird, but when I try to get breathing everywhere like belly, back, chest, my asshole kinda tightens - is that normal cause it's kinda weird..... I also sometimes get light headed when trying to get the breathing everywhere? Please could You help - is this normal?! Thank you

While standing ... my belly sticks out and creates a big anterior pelvic tilt due to years “only belly”breathing. So while exercising if we want to implement the breathing pattern that you have described in your video... is it ok to engage core... because when we engage core it is doable to direct breath easily into entire torso. So my question is : is it ok to engage core (belly button towards spine) while doing any exercise to implement the breathing described in this video?

I hv bladder and urethra irritation since last 3 yrs without uti . It might be bcoz of overactiveness of bladder which aggravate due to constipation , spicy and hot food intake and tesnsion . Plss tell me any exercise to relax my pelvic muscles

its hard to do this while standing

What if I can't feel a breath in my chest?

Hi , why do I feel dizzy when I practice breathing the proper way?
