Breathing 101

"All ways of breathing are good provided they fit the needs of a person’s body and aren’t compulsive habits. Always having to breathe a certain way is not breathing; it’s compulsion" -Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
Many folks are not truly clear about where the diaphragm is in the body, and how it can move. It is an amazing supportive structure that helps us with our posture and digestion. It supports the function of our heart and provides the necessary action to draw in air and release CO2.
Embody this knowledge by experiencing and improving directions of movement. Yes! You can change and improve the shape and quality of each breath.
