Lateral Breathing

Description

Sit cross-legged on the floor or on a support, place one hand on the floor next to your hip, and raise the other arm toward the sky. Lean your torso toward the side of the hand on the floor, keeping your pelvis firmly anchored to the floor and without tension in your neck. Breathe deeply, aiming to fully open the upper side of your body and your ribs, within a comfortable range. Hold this position with full, calm breaths for the duration indicated by your physical therapist, then slowly return and repeat on the other side.
