In Part 2 of our anatomy series, we\u2019re going inside the anatomy of your breath. You\u2019ll meet the giant jellyfish-shaped muscle underneath your lungs, the trampoline at the bottom of your pelvis, the expandable walls surrounding them, and the tiny tourists trying to get the full tour of your torso. Because breathing isn\u2019t just about your lungs. Every breath is a coordinated movement between your diaphragm, ribs, abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, and nervous system. In this episode: \ud83d\udd39 What your diaphragm is actually doing when you inhale and why it moves in the opposite direction most people assume \ud83d\udd39 How your diaphragm and pelvic floor work together and why constantly gripping your belly or pelvic floor can interfere with that relationship \ud83d\udd39 What 360-degree breathing really means and how your ribs, belly, back body, and pelvic floor accommodate every breath \ud83d\udd39 Why shallow breathing recruits your neck and shoulders and can keep your nervous system\u2019s \u201cfire alarm\u201d switched on Your breath isn\u2019t simply moving air. So this week, notice your elevator. Is it getting the full ride or are you spending all day in the penthouse? \u2705 If you\u2019re loving this level of detail, this is exactly how we teach inside my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training.
