Diaphragmatic Breathing
-Diaphragmatic breathing is a natural and relaxed form of breathing, and is done by expanding and contracting the diaphragm. This allows you to maximize the amount of oxygen that goes into your bloodstream
-During diaphragmatic breathing, lung expansion happens lower in the body and is referred to as “deep breathing”
 
Diaphragmatic Breathing with Abdominal Activation
-Inhale slowly through the nose and allow air to fill your lungs, expanding the diaphragm
            -Your belly should expand
            -Do not let your shoulders or chest rise
-Exhale slowly through your mouth and let all of the air out
            -Contract your abdominals and bring your belly inward
