8. Power Breathing Routine

About This Lesson

This lesson introduces the Power Breathing Routine from The Centered Human Being program.

Power Breathing combines a Soft Stomach Breath with a Hard Stomach Breath. Inhale with a Soft Stomach Breath, then exhale into a Hard Stomach Breath as the stomach muscles tighten. The key principle is simple: exhale into the exertion.

Watch Sam demonstrate Power Breathing from the Position of Strength, with the back straight, knees bent, and arms close to the body.

The lesson then shows Power Breathing applied to martial arts and everyday movements, including lifting, lowering, pushing, and pulling. Workplace examples reinforce how the same breathing principle can be used across different kinds of physical activity.
