In either position, focus on keeping your spine erect as you place one hand on your chest and one hand just at your beltline. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose, taking air into your belly. Exhale through your nose, feeling your belly as it sinks back in. Repeat five to ten times, alternating the position of your hands if you’d like.  [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
