“Your breath doesn’t start in the lungs — it starts in the diaphragm.”

“A free diaphragm doesn’t just breathe — it feels.”

“Where the diaphragm is blocked, emotion stalls.”

​

The diaphragm is the engine of breath and emotion — yet often tense and unconscious. This workshop explores its anatomy, function, and emotional role.

How the Diaphragm Shapes Posture, Breath, and Mind

AreaEffect of a Blocked Diaphragm

BreathRestricted movement reduces lung volume and oxygen intake.

Mind-Emotional tension settles in the diaphragm; freedom brings inner calm.
