There are two main types of breathing: chest breathing abdominal (or diaphragmatic) breathing. This type of breathing is characterised by an upward and outward movement of the chest and is found most commonly during vigorous exercise, or emergency situations.

Here are four types of breathing that are available to us:
Diaphragmatic– On every inhale the diaphragm muscle is designed to lower minimizing the space in the abdominal cavity. This is why the belly pushes out with an inhale and why this is sometimes referred to as belly breath.Thoracic- If the diaphragm doesn’t descend when we inhale the chest must expand to accommodate the air that has been sucked into the lungs. There is nothing wrong with employing thoracic breathing by choice (this is the ideal way ashtanga yoga is practiced—with the bandhas on and breath work limited to the chest until the end of the session.) we just don’t want it to be our default breathing pattern.Clavicular- Most people don’t realize just how much space the lungs take up in the body. The top of each lung is above the collar bone, or clavicle. Clavicular breathing is unfortunately when we don’t even manage to get the inhale lower than the collar bone. This is considered the shallowest pattern for breathing.Paradoxical- is a strange breathing occurrence where the chest compresses on the inhale rather than expands and vice versa.
Ideally diaphragmatic breathing is our natural mode of breathing. If it isn’t, and there can be numerous reasons why it isn’t, awareness of what type of breathing you most often employ is the start to changing the way you breathe to a different pattern
