Belly to Chest Breath to Jumpstart your Brain to Help you Focus
Belly-to-Chest Breathing is often referred to a three-part breathing. It was popularized by Indian Yoga teachers who came to America in the 1960s.
This technique incorporates a wave like motion involving the belly, ribs, and chest and is great for giving your body a little oxygen lift.
You can use this breathing where indicated in the Yoga therapy routines or when you feel your brain needs a jumpstart to help you focus.
- As you inhale, expand your belly, then your ribs, and finally your chest. Pause.
- As you exhale, release your chest and ribs, then contract your belly. Pause.
- Repeat 20 to 30 times if you’re doing the breathing exercise without movement or as directed in your Yoga therapy routine.
