abdominal breathing
Diaphragm-driven breath technique
Abdominal breathing is a breathing technique where the diaphragm descends on inhalation, causing the belly to expand rather than the chest.
Also called diaphragmatic or belly breathing, it's taught in yoga, meditation, and vocal training to promote deeper breaths and relaxation: Practice abdominal breathing to reduce stress.
