The Diaphragm

Pelvic Diaphragm Breathing

The diaphragm is crucial for breathing. As you breath in and out, your diaphragm moves. The diaphragm is connected to tissue linked to muscle and organs from the top of the cylinder down to the bottom. Therefore when you breath in or out there is a connection to the pelvic floor.

 
Diaphragm    

Breathing can become dysfunctional where the diaphragm doesn’t move downwards as well as it should or where the ribs become restricted. This results in a tension connecting from the diaphragm through the cylinder to the pelvic floor. We will teach how to overcome and release this tension using our connective breathing technique.

By training proper posture and balance in the rest of the body, the diaphragmatic movement improves and will help to balance and co-ordinate previously dysfunctional breathing patterns.

This web site will explain how to utilise breathing and other exercises to enable all parts of the cylinder to work together. Please make sure you understand the three areas of the body involved in the cylinder of control.
