The diaphragm is arguably the most important muscle because it is your breathing muscle. Like other muscles, it can be tight and/or weak. This simple practice will help strengthen your diaphragm and release the pull it may be having on the structures and muscles around it. Deeper breath induces the relaxation response and oxygenates and nourishes your whole body. Have a sand bag or bag of rice available.
