Could you expand a little more on this. I’d like to try it but work out
how it really works.

I have been studying the Alexander Technique for several months now and
I am
being taught to let the stomach move in on inhalation and expand between
my
lower ribs, like an umbrella. I was having trouble with my breath
support
as well until I ³got² that I still have to firm up the lower abdominals,
yet
not expand them as I had always done. Upon exhalation, think of a
slight
tucking motion of the pelvis; this really engages some lower abs and
helps
in the air control. They call it ³performance breath² A great
technique.
