It’s no secret that we must breathe to live, but most of us don’t do it properly. When we’re born, we use proper breath – but over time, with stress, tension and fear – we adopt less effective and efficient techniques.
As I’m on a week-long Pilates retreat in Provence, France, I asked my instructor to teach us how to breathe. Check out the video below.
As an operatic singer, I approve this video. lol. ^_^
Great video! That technique is very similar to the breathing taught in classical voice lessons or acting schools. I like the description of deploying wings, good analogy.
Very similar to what I learned playing trumpet
I learned this in private voice lessons…………
breathe in-breathe out-dont try this in China.
Noticed the major improvement in your posture and mine after this advice.
So: Breath from the lower diaphragm and wear angel wings!
a great resource for proper breathing is “the science of breath” by Ramacharaka. it is available for free download through google books.
