Belly Breathing (5 min)

In this class I guide you through belly breathing, also known as diaphragmatic breathing - a stress relieving breath technique. I like to practice this when I'm feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or having difficulty falling asleep.

Some benefits include:
-It helps you relax, lowering the harmful effects of the stress hormone cortisol on your body
-It lowers your heart rate
-It helps lower your blood pressure
-Strengthens the diaphragm
-Improves stability in the core muscles
-Slows the breathing rate
-Lowers the heart rate and blood pressure

Avoid if you recently had abdominal or low back surgery, if you are experiencing low back, belly, rib cage, or spinal discomfort, or if you just ate a big meal.

Let me know how this one goes for you in the comments!!
