Breathing Part 1 (belly breathing)

Lie on your back in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor, spine in a neutral position and your hands on your rib cage. Take a big deep inhale, breathing into your rib cage and feeling your hands expand sideways and your belly rising. On the exhale, feel your rib cage reset and belly lower. If you like, you can place one hand on your chest – sometimes this can help you to focus on drawing the breath into your belly instead of inhaling into the chest. Take 5 to 10 deep breaths here.
