Breath Workshop with Adrian | Learn How to Optimize your Breathing (6 Mins)
Classes by Adrian Gaskin • 5m 59s
In this foundational 6-minute Breath Workshop, Adrian teaches how to optimize your breathing mechanics to improve your performance in daily activities. Starting with the diaphragm, your primary breathing muscle, Adrian guides you through a slow and intentional exercise to deepen and expand each inhale and exhale. These big and expansive breaths will open up not only your neck and chest, but your belly and back to make your movements more efficient. Practice this box-breath exercise standing, seated in the car or at work, during a workout, or laying on the floor or in your bed. Notice how this purposeful breath fills and calms your body, down-regulating your nervous system.
