aligning your ribcage through breathing - #7

ribcage alignment

I begin this episode with a discussion of ribcage alignment (your ribcage is flexible!). In the practice, I offer the opportunity to explore noticing your own ribcage alignment through full, intentional breathing.

practice notes

If you found this practice useful, I encourage you to consider repeating it --perhaps in another week or as often as every day-- in between now and the next practice in the series.

a note on order

I'm presenting these practices in an intentional progression assuming little if any familiarity with breathing practices. You know yourself best; if you find it valuable to pick and choose practices or try them in a different order, I'm all for it!

If you would like to work with a different practice today, the player above includes a playlist with all the practices.

And as ever, if you have questions or feedback on how this practice works for you, I welcome hearing them!
