The Baseline: Diaphragmatic Breathing - 5 min

Deconstruct the foundational mechanical breath that regulates your nervous system, drops you out of fight-or-flight, and activates your deep core. Learn to expand your ribcage three-dimensionally and master the baseline for all functional movement.

Form Checks: Expand the belly and lower ribs SIDEWAYS (not front to back); keep the chest, shoulders, and neck completely relaxed.

Tools: A quiet space to lie down or sit comfortably.
