Diaphragmatic breathing posture affects the breathing which affects your nervous system and can be keeping you in fight or flight mode. So what is the proper breathing technique you ask? Ideally, you want to be able to stabilize your core by anchoring your pelvis, ribcage and shoulders so that you can engage in low abdominal breathing or diaphragmatic breathing. This requires you to strengthen your obliques and glutes which I will show you later in this course. Most people tend to breathe higher up in the chest area, which is considered to be a more shallow breath. The diaphragmatic breath is what is considered to be the 360 degree breath.
It goes down towards your butt and genitals. Front to back towards your navel and mid and low back and left to right towards your hips. Once you learn this coordination, this is going to be your check in point throughout the day and the movements we learned in this program. While doing your movements, you should be asking yourself am I engaging and look in low abdominal breathing? Are my shoulders in course stabilized? Am I breathing in 360 degree directions, not just front to back but guides to.
This will help you a lot when you don't have other feedback systems like video, photo or mirror. This is also helping you build on your kinesthesia and body bodily awareness.
