Three Part Yogic Breathing

Sitting: chair, cushion, block
"Dirgha" means to lengthen
This pranayama is a combination of:
-Belly or diaphragmatic breathing
-Ribs or thoracic breathing
-Chest or clavicular breathing
Putting them together in a wave like motion for full yogic breathing.

Steps:
- Inhale slowly, filling the lower abdomen first, allowing the breath and prana to fill the pelvic floor, then like a wave expand the breath into the ribs and lastly filling the breath into the upper lungs, chest and clavicles.
-Exhale slowly releasing the upper lungs and clavicle, then the rib cage descend toward belly, and finally draw the lower belly slightly back to the spine.
