Course Overview

The Thoracic diaphragmatic is the primary muscle involved in breathing by activating the respiratory pump mechanism. The pump also has a profound effect on central blood pressure in addition to its key role in respiration. This dual function means that we can generate a higher heart rate variability wave form for greater health not only by timing our breath at resonant frequency but also by modulating the action of the diaphragm. These lesson are highly practical with the anatomical and physiological concepts being put into practice with exercises specific to the content of each lesson.
