Belly breathing, also called diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing, is a technique that focuses on engaging the diaphragm - the large, dome-shaped muscle located just beneath your lungs.

By breathing deeply into our belly, we encourage fuller, more efficient breaths that allow for a greater exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide than shallow chest breathing.

This simple yet powerful practice supports our nervous system and helps to ease feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, and overwhelm, bringing a sense of calm and grounding to the mind and body.
