Do you sometimes find your breathing to be short and shallow?
If so, it could be due to restriction in your side body from tight muscles. I’ve put together a three-part YouTube Shorts series focused on stretches and myofascial release techniques that target the muscles along the ribs: the intercostal muscles, serratus anterior, and latissimus dorsi.
In this first video, I demonstrate the gentle yin yoga pose, Bananasana, which provides a subtle lateral stretch of the obliques, intercostal muscles, and IT band to create space for deeper, fuller breaths.
Stay tuned for two more videos in this series.
