Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

10: Is There a Right and Wrong Way to Breathe?


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Sarah and Laurel tackle the question of whether there is a right or wrong way to breathe, whether or not someone needs help with their breathing, how to help various populations explore their breathing, and whether it’s always bad if our clients and students have pain. 

  • The problem with belly breathing
  • What the respiratory diaphragm is
  • Effective tactile cueing to help people to use their diaphragm effectively
  • The problem with cueing people to breathe deeply
  • Why creating a safe space to downregulate the nervous system takes priority
  • Why some people benefit more by externalizing (rather than internalizing) their focus 
  • How to breathe during strength training
  • Breathing and the pelvic floor
  • Pranayama versus cardiovascular endurance training
  • Should we breathe through our nose or mouth?
