Supine Diaphragmatic Breathing

In today’s video, we’re demonstrating Supine Diaphragmatic Breathing — a foundational exercise to activate your core, improve stability, and relieve lower back tension. Perfect for recovery, rehab, and enhancing posture!

How to Perform the Exercise

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
2. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen to monitor your breathing.
3. Inhale deeply through your nose, focusing on expanding your abdomen and allowing your lower hand to rise while keeping your upper hand still.
4. Exhale slowly through your mouth, drawing your belly button toward your spine as your abdomen contracts.
5. Repeat for 8–10 breaths, maintaining smooth and controlled breathing.

Tips for Success

• Keep your chest as still as possible, focusing the movement in your abdomen.
• Breathe slowly and deeply to maximize core engagement and relaxation.
• Maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.

This exercise is ideal for improving breathing mechanics, activating your core, and reducing tension. Incorporate it into your routine for better posture, mobility, and overall recovery!
