Breathing exercise: Centring

Individual work

Breathe consciously while lying comfortably on your back or sitting with your eyes closed. Focus your attention on the centre of your abdomen - approx. one centimetre below your navel. Slowly inhale deeply into the centre of the abdomen (push the abdominal wall outwards) and exhale slowly (let the abdominal wall fall inwards). Two to three minutes in the practice phase, as an application only a few breaths long.

No equipment required (optional in the hall: one soft mat per participant)
