hey nicole, thank you :), its nice to actually have a class on how to breathe like this. i find it harder to engage my lower abdominals too, will try to focus on those first!
Your cueing in past videos completely changed my mat work for the better. I had a really hard time engaging my tva and finding a neutral spine until I found your videos. Still excited to complete this series though!
Yes! The diaphragm stimulates the vagus nerve, and the vagus nerve balances our parasympathetic (rest) and sympathetic (fight or flight) systems. So deep breathing can be great for relaxing and reducing anxiety. ❤️
I didn’t know that before however I could really feel the calming effects while practicing - lovely and another tool for the stress toolkit, thank you Nicole!
Can't believe I've never heard of you before today. You are such an excellent teacher!

I've heard diaphragmatic breathing is also very useful for anxiety / stress management so I'm happy to learn more about it ad how to do it!
