@@shivangsaini3134 yes, absolutely! 👍 even in a “tight” or stable position, if needing to breathe the belly should still be able to expand. I say it like this because if someone is doing a one rep max back squat, for example, they wound inhale, brace/tighten, and hold more than likely. But being in this braced/tight position and still expanding in the belly is an eccentric movement of the core musculature such as the transverse abdominus. Such an important aspect too! This is why I would have people practice unloaded and not braced first, and then adding in the braced position next, such as holding a 90/90 position or during a movement such as a dead bug!
Great video. Thanks for your work! What should be our "normal" rest breathing position (relaxed position or the tight position). Also 5 min daily practice is enough?
Thanks. At rest you should be relaxed but if your core, including the diaphragm and pelvic floor are functioning properly there will always be sufficient “tone” in them. But also working these muscle groups and working breath at the same time as contracting and moving through various positions is also crucial to train your body to be able to adapt and move, but remain stable all at the same time. Is 5 minutes enough? Likely not but it is a starting point most people can accomplish. To re-train neuro-motor patterns such as breath and core activation can take years to actually do if someone has been “stuck” in improper patterns for a long time. So really the more the better! I have more recent videos that show a nice progression or “flow” that is commonly used! Here is link to the first video. They are short and sweet and to the point! m.ruclips.net/video/UrsltV-gwbQ/видео.html
The reason toddlers breathe into their bellies is also largely due to the fact that their ribs are at a more horizontal angle than adult rib cages are.
Although this may be true, proper breathing in adults should still begin with a downward contraction of the diaphragm and this expansion in the abdomen. Anything other than this is on a scale of paradoxical. Some mild, some severe and is case by case. But proper spinal stabilization depends on proper intra-abdominal pressures and it all starts with proper breath!
yeah and starting from about age 11 if you are female, people around you remind you daily to "not forget to suck in your gut". You can't possibly be an attractive female through puberty and beyond if you are breathing into a "pot belly", so self-consciousness ensues and breathing moves up into the chest in order to ensure an ever flat belly. Toddlers have not yet received that messaging so they are not worried about breathing naturally.
Yoga teachers need this information desperately. I'm trying to spread the word. Thanks to one of my teachers for sharing this to me in one of her teaching programs. Thank YOU to creating this - very simply stated but so potent.
Hey! This video was meant to be about the most basic and first progression to evaluate if you are breathing correctly, able to stabilize in an unloaded position, and then brace and continue to breath with proper diaphragm activation. Majority of people cannot even do this correctly. After this is improved you can start progressing forward and using all sorts of other things (as you mentioned) but I like to follow a specific progression going to first things like the dead bug for example and then moving on from there. Hope that makes sense!
@@drscottkeller Thanks for reply 👍 dead bug involves too much of my abdominals which results in exercise induced pressure causing heart to start racing
@@2fastnfurious4u I see. Best thing would be to find someone local who knows your issues and can help you out. But dead bug is actually a tough exercise to do correctly so there are many other things that are regressions to that.
Hey coach would belly move in and out when we breath in tight position?

Great response. Thanks again, your work in this important subject is the best I've found .

well done
日本で言うところの腹式呼吸のことだろうか？
A very important work in breathing, thanks
Solid video. I will be sending this to patients daily.
what about foot cues, ball between the knees for better inhale positioning, slight posterior pelvis tilt...
