Too much neck activity when breathing is common. The usual reason for this is improper use of the diaphragm during inhalation.
There's a lot of reasons for a lack of diaphragm activity, but the most common is an inability to relax the diaphragm during exhalation and then to oppose contraction during inhalation.
If we restore these dynamics, then everything else tends to fall into place.
However, the difficulty can often be in feeling the diaphragm since it is such a deep muscle. The way we can do this is to infer diaphragm activity by tapping into the feeling of compressing the guts.
So in this video, we discuss breathing down to expand up. This is a way for us to sense this abdominal compression and learn to use air (not neck activity) to expand rather than lift the rib cage.

Yes abouslety makes sense . Try relax the tongue softly open the throat as you breath in. I notice to many of my clients grip their mouth when breathing in too all this help to release tension in the neck this will help with the breathing technique. Matt the pilates teacher.

Greg does it again! For me this is: “The cue from heaven”, I was breathing more up when exhaled but breathing down against it actually opened the so much needed expansion in the upper side. I have been struggling opening up the T spine and sternum area, this superb cue does the job, thank you!🙏🏼

Enjoying your breathing course, I get way too much back involvement in exhales which I’m working on

Do I let the belly relax at all during the end of inspiration? Or should I always keep some gentle tension in the deep abdominal muscles? Thanks.

Laying down is ok ?

Hi, thank you! As a person with pretty significant scoliosis would you recommend whim hoff breathing exercises? It feels like they could be counter productive from this method.

Hi there…. There’s probably nothing wrong with wim hoff, but I’d train the ability to do both styles. Also, a well-rounded movement program tailored to your needs is a good idea

I started doing this breathing technique but i think my stomach is like bloated ,do you think vacuuming stomach to strengthing abs would help when you want to do the breathing technique? Thanks for helping

At the end of the exhale, when you say to hold the tension...is that a slight pull in of the belly button area? Thanks

@Reteq Жыл бұрын

For me its not so much pulling in the belly button, but my lower abs below the belly button kick in to get a full exhale. Holding the exhale for a bit until I feel the urge to breath has helped most with that (don't force it though). I've noticed over a short period of time holding that tension gets easier.
