📖 Detailed description

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Inhale through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth while gently drawing the lower abdomen inward, without crushing the shoulders or arching the back. The goal is to feel a deep and controlled activation.

💡 Execution tips

  • Exhale slowly as if you were trying to fog up a window.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Pulling the belly in too forcefully, shrugging the shoulders, holding the breath.
