| Jul 9, 2021 at 8:13 | comment | added | Philip Klöcking | The link of breathing and stretching is well-known and made use of for example in yoga as well. There are some aspects to be kept in mind here: Firstly, the flexibility of your upper body is obviously greater when your lungs are empty. On the other hand, being under stress and breathing in you can add some additional stretch, especially into the smaller muscles around your rib cage. Also, since you consciously relax when breathing out, you can go a little further each breath cycle. And breathing in gives some tension, after which muscles can be stretched better since they have to relax a bit. | |

One of my tai chi teachers was very big on getting into the strengthening postures and using each breath to extend a little more | |
