Good to know . I’ve been doing twists and forward fold without this. I’m glad this popped up again.

[colleen]

I've been trying to do this pelvic lift for a couple of week, dure to a slight pressure below, so hard to do. Until. Just watched your first explanation about breathing and suddenly it becomes easier when breathing out, amazing. Thankyou, maybe ow I will make a difference. ❤

[suewang]

Thank you very much, good to know. And it also similar to the very old Chinese way of core training.

[naturegirl]

13:21 maybe you can add the decompression breath to some of your new videos to remind us.

I have Asthma your workouts have been really good for me and my lungs

[rituvarma]

Thank you much, it will help us enormously!!

[jesscr]

I’ve been working really hard on my breathing, this is a great explanation! However, it’s still so hard for me, it if stop focusing on it even for a second, I switch back to doing the complete opposite! I guess It’s really hard to get the hang of it after doing it wrong for years! 🤪 In my head, and how it feels, is that my breath and diaphragm aren’t going down as I breathe in but up, and the opposite on exhale... do you happen to have a visual or video of a muscular skeleton with organs moving as the breath flows? I’m thinking of some sort of high school science video😆 I think this explanation would be even more helpful to me if I could see it happening internally at the same time! Thank you!!
