Wall Breathing with Diaphragm Expansion
Wall Breathing with Diaphragm Expansion is a grounding breathwork exercise that trains your body to use your diaphragm more effectively while improving posture and reducing upper body tension. With your back supported against the wall, you’ll focus on expanding your ribs and breathing deep into your low belly—counteracting the shallow, chest-based breathing that often happens during long, busy shifts.
This technique not only helps you feel calm and in control but also brings awareness to your alignment, making it easier to stand tall and breathe fully behind the chair.
Why It’s Essential for Beauty Pros:
Reinforces Healthy Posture: Encourages proper spinal alignment and helps you reset after slouching or leaning.
Deepens Breath Capacity: Expands rib movement and lung function for more efficient, energizing breaths.
Reduces Shoulder & Neck Tension: Relieves tightness caused by shallow breathing and repetitive movement.
Quick Reset Tool: Use it during a break or even between clients to feel refreshed and refocused.
Whether you’ve been stuck in one position or just need a moment to recharge, Wall Breathing with Diaphragm Expansion is a simple and powerful way to reconnect to your breath, your body, and your presence behind the chair.
