Abdominal Breathing (Abdomino-Diaphragmatic Breath)
By: Ginger Garner

The A-D breath makes relaxation and downtraining of the sympathetic nervous system easily accessible to anyone - whether at work, home, or in a restorative yoga practice, physical or occupational therapy practice, or in yoga teaching or therapy. The A-D breath is not used to create postural stability in exercise or mind-body exercise like yoga, but it can be successfully used for promoting sleep, relaxation, calm, and meditation.
