Sit or stand tall. Wrap an exercise band around the lower portion of the ribcage and tie it snugly in front of the chest. As you inhale through the nose, bring awareness to the back and sides of the ribcage, where the lungs are located. Imagine lungs are balloons, gently swelling with air on inhalation. Feel the band tightening as the sides and back of ribs expand and widen. Let your mouth drop open as you exhale through your mouth. As you exhale, imagine the air is being squeezed out from the bottom of your lungs. Feel the band loosening slightly as ribs gently compress. Engage abdominal muscles as you exhale. Continue breathing laterally.
Improves awareness and focus. Energising.
