Belly Breathing:
Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. 
Slow and controlled. 
Only the hand on the belly should rise, no chest movement should occur. 

Positional Breathing: Thoracic Spine Roll
Same pattern as Diaphragmatic Breathing, but start on your side. Hold your legs in place and rotate your shoulder that is away from the ground toward the floor. Breathe in through your belly in that position. 

Positional Breathing: ​Crocodile Breathing
Same pattern as diaphragmatic breathing. 
Start on your stomach. Breathing through your belly will push into the floor creating resistance and making this a workout for you.

Balloon Breathing:
On your back, with knees bent. Breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth to forcefully inflate the balloon. The ribs should drop as you blow out ALL YOUR AIR. 
Pause for 3 seconds. 
Keep the air in the balloon, breathe in, and then put another breath into the balloon. 
Aim to 2-3 breaths into the balloon. 
If a balloon is too difficult, start with a straw. 

​Boxed Breathing
Using the pattern of diaphragmatic breathing. 
This is pacing your breathing.
4 seconds of inhale. 
4 second pause. 
4 second exhale.
4 Second Pause. 
You can always increase the length of each phase (6-10 seconds for example). 

Long Pause Breathing:
Building off of Boxed breathing, the pattern is the same except on the inhale pause - we hold that for a longer time. 
4 second inhale
15 second pause
4 second exhale
4 second pause. 

As you get better- you can increase the pause time on the inhale (up to 30 seconds).
