Breathe into the Back

Take a moment to relax and focus on your breath.

As you inhale, visualize your lungs expanding into the back as well as into the front of the chest. You can put your hands on the sides of your rib cage, thumbs in back and four fingers in front, to feel the expansion.

As you breathe, let yourself feel the support of the breath going into your upper back, holding you up, giving strength.

Let your belly, ribs and chest area remain soft and flexible, easily expanding to make room for the lungs. Remember that the more flexible we are for the breath, the easier it is to maintain good posture and flow of breath to the rest of the body.

Enjoy!
