Example text
Instead, the primary location of the movement of respiration should be the diaphragm, which only has one function: breathing. Here are some healthy breathing tips that you can find an example of in Chapter 8: ߜ Inhale through your nose, filling your chest with air and letting your belly expand. This technique allows your nose to filter and warm the air before your body uses it. ߜ Make sure that your shoulders stay relaxed and don’t raise up around your ears when you’re breathing. ߜ Exhale through your mouth, consciously using your deep abdominal muscles and diaphragm to push the air out (belly will deflate).
The only way to stretch a muscle fully is to relax and practice slow, rhythmic breathing. To simplify things, try to remember to exhale so your body automatically inhales. Don’t make it any more complicated than that for right now. See “The Art of Breathing Correctly” later in this chapter for more information. Know your limits Stretching can help you understand both your possibilities and your limits. Stretching is supposed to be energizing and relaxing, not painful. Never do anything that hurts!
