The breath helps every day, every situation that arises. It helps in ways we never expect.
Feeling we work toward:
1. The Outbreath feels effortless.
This really comes to light when we take full breaths. We often force the outbreath. Try slowing down more than you ever have. It almost feels like holding breath, but the air goes slowly and we relax our whole body.
1. Expansion starts low and rises, this expansion is 360°.
That means we feel our back expand behind us, not just the belly rising. Some people flatter themselves for belly breathing, but their back is locked and they only expand forward. When we do this, our belly dumps forward and core control is lost.
You might feel this your first breath or it could take time. You will feel something after the 2 min Wind Up.
Our 2 min breath “Wind Up” boosts our capacity for the day, we feel it for 12 hours after. Same for our warmups, feel lighter for 12 hours, but the breath is more powerful than anything other than posture.Posture gives a foundation for the breath.
