Diaphragm Vacuum Part 1: A Core Primer

The Diaphragm Vacuum aka Uddiyana Bandha is an extraordinary internal core exercise often shrouded in myth. This class aims to simplify the anatomy, biomechanics and application of this diaphragmatic action. Your diaphragm is both a dividing line and a passageway. Its dynamic mobility is critical to every system of your body. The Diaphragm Vacuum exercise is a completely engrossing movement that challenges this muscle to move in a full range of motion. Learn the how, why and what around this internal core pump, and reap the benefits from the inside out.

Some of the wonderful benefits of this class include internal spinal traction, organ and visceral nerve massage, breath improvement, dynamic core strength and newfound stress resilience.

In this series of MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – The Logical/Mythological Series, Jill focuses on common myths and misperceptions of practice that still persist in yoga and movement classrooms today. Each class tackles a myth that unrolls like a sticky mat when you filter it through anatomy, kinesiology and physiology. Join Jill on this fun myth-busting journey that also translates into other popular movement forms including pilates, CrossFit and Instagram Inspo. Each class will attempt to unpack a myth from a historical/contextual lens and take you through Tune Up Fitness movement practices that help your body to be a lab of curiosity and discovery.
