Learn How To Do Hypopressives

Let me show you how to do a hypopressive breath like we use in Low Pressure Fitness! First off, we want to breathe using the ribcage and diaphragm, not the belly. Since a lot of people are tight in this area and don’t know how to breathe in this way, let’s start with loosening up the area. Try some massage from the sternum to the ribcage, gently pressing in with your fingertips. Try helping your ribcage lift up and outward. Use your hands to connect with this area and feel the movement of your ribcage and diaphragm. Inhale through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Next, let’s do a hypopressive breath. Breathe three times, slowing inhaling and exhaling. After you have exhaled completely, hold your breath and, without letting any air enter your nose or mouth, take a “false breath in”. Open and lift your ribcage. Hold as long as you can. You’ll feel the urge to inhale. If you’re just beginning, try to do it while pinching the nose and closing your mouth. Feel your waistline cinch in, the ribcage open and the pelvic floor muscles lift up. There ya have it! How’d you do?
