Your breath might be telling you something. Swipe through and see if any of these sound familiar.
Try it now: put your hands on your lower ribs and breathe into your back. Notice what moves, and what doesn’t.
If your ribs feel quiet today, that’s okay. Your body has been working hard. Go gently, and stop if anything feels off. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or recovering from surgery, check with your provider first.

Movement + Breath + Fascia + Nervous System

Learn how to breath with confidence, love and openness

Shallow breathing can be a response to panic or fear—but when it becomes a lifelong pattern, it can keep you feeling tense and disconnected from your body. Gently practicing deeper, fuller breaths can help you feel more grounded and present, opening the door to a deeper connection with yourself and your life.

Curious how?

A lot of people with extended bellies have trouble pulling it in and changing the relative length of the fascia around the stomach and the core. These are for people that have consistently belly breathed.

The relationship runs both ways. The mind + body connection is more than emotions live in the body, it’s a feedback loop.

The patterns get ingrained into the tissues. That’s why it needs breathwork, fascia release & retraining. by @expansion.therapy

High fermented foods (and beverages) have reduced so much inflammation and bloating in my G.I. and help my body breakdown carbs really well. I think it’s one of the biggest things missing from a lot of diets.

Since I’ve implemented it into my life and my children’s life, we’ve only seen positive results.

PS @synergykombucha could you let me know when you stop making these for the season so that I can stock up? by @expansion.therapy

Being confident doesn’t mean you’re perfect.

It means you stop carrying the pressure of the expectations you handed yourself. Perfectionism isn’t just a mindset, it’s a clenched jaw, held breath, and shoulders that never come down. by @expansion.therapy

When there is tension in the neck or the shoulders, usually breath is not found there, and we are unconscious of our breath, getting pushed down to the belly. When there’s no space in the rib cage for movement, then places like the shoulder and the neck strain to control movement
