This document provides instructions for diaphragmatic breathing exercises. It explains that when inhaling, the stomach expands like a balloon and when exhaling, the stomach contracts inward. It instructs lying on your back with hands on your stomach to feel it rise with inhalation and fall with exhalation. A series of breathing exercises are then outlined involving long and short inhales and exhales as well as breath control exercises like blowing paper or blowing up a soap bubble balloon. Proper form is emphasized with mouth open wide and throat relaxed during inhalation.
