Reverse breathing
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (April 2024) |
Reverse breathing (also reverse abdominal breathing or Taoist breathing) is a breathing technique associated with qigong and martial arts.[1] It consists of compressing the abdomen while inhaling through the mouth, and expanding it while exhaling through the nose.[1] Practitioners believe that consciously controlling this movement in a way opposite to normal breathing can build up qi for various applications.[1]
