I have a question with breath. Today I notice that when I was breathing down past belly, stomach rising up, I would feel tension coming up into my neck. How do I release that neck tension?

This is the place to ask about breathing, rib cage, and pelvis alignment—the building blocks of all healthy movement. No question is too basic.

I posted pics of stand with pelvis and back to be flat against wall as we as shoulders just leaving wall with arms stretched out. I think I’m doing it correctly. It really activates abs. I have had some injuries in intercostals back muscles so I can feel it in back as my rib cage is trying to expand. The pic with lying on floor with pelvic tilt/lift. For both the 4 sets of breathing really activates. How long approximately does it take approximately for the proper breathing to become autonomous?

Howdy. For the first exercise on floor with pelvic tilt, when breathing should one feel it breathing down to belly with activated core muscles and feel it at the back? For the second standing against wall and reaching arms out, with the back against the wall, are we feeling the air fill the back also?
