Better Breathing Workshop

Here is an exercise from the Better Breathing Workshop for this Saturday, May 28, 2016.  Move your lower rib cage while you breathe.  Not the upper chest or the shoulders, but the lower rib cage.  Put your hands on your sides where you can feel your ribs.  Make them flare out as you inhale. They’ll float back in as you exhale. Move them as much and as often as you can before our workshop.  You’ll be surprised how mobility improves in just a few days.kiteswirl by joatklipa

This one-minute video shows what is going on with the diaphragm and ribs while you breathe.  Click here. 

Moving the lower ribcage is the first of 5 points we’ll cover for that easy, efficient, baseline breath.  You’ll come away with a 10-minute practice that will help you, and that you can develop as much as you like. (And if you’re interested in advanced breathing practices, you’ll want to get the mechanics of the baseline breath first.)  Register for the workshop  or for more information (contact @ cynthiabretheim . com).
