3-Part Sectional Breathing & Yogic Deep Breathing

Yogic deep breathing combines 3 parts of sectional breathing: Clavicular or collarbone breathing, Chest or thoracic breathing, and Abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing. Just 10 to 15 minutes of yogic deep breathing, done mindfully, can bring instant relaxation, freeing the mind of stress and tension. 

This video demonstrates the 3 parts of sectional breathing and how to practice yogic deep breathing.
