Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique - Step-by-Step Guide for Stress Relief #37017 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a woman lying supine, demonstrating two phases of diaphragmatic (belly) breathing: inhaling deeply through the nose (abdomen expands, chest remains still) and exhaling slowly through the mouth (abdomen gently contracts). Her hands are positioned to monitor breath movement-one on the chest to ensure minimal motion, the other on the abdomen to feel expansion-highlighting correct form for stress reduction and respiratory efficiency.

Used on wellness, mental health, yoga, or mindfulness web pages to visually teach foundational breathing techniques; matches user intent for self-help guides on anxiety management, meditation prep, or COPD/pulmonary rehab exercises.
