Breathing: Relaxation - 11 min
ELDOA & STRETCHING • 11m
Open level - Pace: Slow
One of the most important muscles for respiration is the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the biggest and most powerful muscle of the human body, but it’s often ignored and played down because we don’t see it…
We go to the gym to strengthen muscles like glutes and biceps (to look good) but we ignore a muscle like the diaphragm that makes us “feel good”
Breathing exercises and relaxation like this video will help you when you are under a lot of stress, when you are constipated, when you can’t get your mind to work or, opposite, when you cannot quiet it down.
Take some time every day to make sure you breathe!
