Resistance Breathing Techniques for YogAlign® & FitAlign® Posture Training
17-Minute Breath-Based Core & Posture Practice with Michaelle Edwards
Breath is everything. After more than 30 years of developing YogAlign® and FitAlign® methods, Michaelle Edwards teaches you how to use the movements of breathing combined with resistance to strengthen, tone, and support your body from the inside out.
Instead of relying on sit-ups, crunches, planks, or passive stretching, these techniques use resistance breathing and neuromuscular repatterning to engage the deep muscles of the torso while retraining habitual patterns of breathing, posture, and movement.
In this 17-minute practice, you will learn how to:
• Strengthen your core from the inside out
• Use the natural movements of breathing to activate and tone the deep muscles of the torso.
• Develop a core that is both strong and supple to better support your spine.
• Add resistance to your breathing practice
• Learn specific ways to apply resistance during breathing to increase muscular engagement.
• Experience an entirely different approach to strengthening your torso without conventional abdominal exercises.
• Rewire habitual breathing and movement patterns
• Become more aware of subconscious breathing habits that influence how you stand, sit, and move.
• Use breath-based neuromuscular repatterning to train your brain and body toward more efficient movement patterns.
• Improve posture and spinal support
• Coordinate your breathing muscles with the muscles responsible for posture and stability.
• Develop greater support for your spine while maintaining mobility and ease of movement.
• Build strength without sit-ups, crunches, planks, or passive stretching
• Discover a breath-based approach to core training that emphasizes whole-body integration.
• Develop strength while maintaining a dynamic, supple torso rather than creating unnecessary tension and compression.
Breathing Affects Your Whole Body
Breathing is much more than an exchange of oxygen. The way we breathe influences the entire body, including posture and movement, nervous-system regulation, lymphatic flow and drainage, circulation, digestion and elimination, brain function and health, hormonal processes, mood, energy, and overall well-being.
Our breathing habits can also influence how we hold and move our bodies, affecting our appearance, comfort, posture, mobility, and the long-term health of our joints.
Transform the Way You Breathe, Stand & Move
You breathe thousands of times every day. YogAlign® and FitAlign® Resistance Breathing techniques teach you how to use those breaths to reinforce better posture, core support, body awareness, and more efficient movement.
By changing subconscious habits of breathing and movement, you can begin creating a stronger, more toned and supple core from the inside out—one that dynamically supports your spine and your whole body.
In just 17 minutes, discover how changing the way you breathe can begin changing the way you stand, move, and feel.
