For the next few sections, it is important to be in comfortable clothing and have a space to comfortably lie down on your back or side. If you are more comfortable in seated, you can remain that way as well.

Other equipment you will find useful during this section include; a small ball, yoga mat, bolster or other props or pillows and a blanket.

Recall from our previous lecture section that the pelvic floor and core are very much related to breath and the respiratory diaphragm creates the top portion of our core cannister.

As we inhale a long slow smooth breath, the pressure from the diaphragm descent (hopefully) spreads equally in a 360 degree direction. As we exhale passively, the decrease of pressure within our abdomen creates a reflexive muscle activation within our deep core.

We will be focusing on a 3-part, HOLISTIC BREATH including breathing into the back and side portion of our ribcage and allowing the belly and chest to come along for the ride.
