Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique Illustrated Step-by-Step #37034 (License: Personal Use)

This four-panel cartoon demonstrates diaphragmatic (belly) breathing: first, the person inhales, causing the diaphragm to descend and the abdomen to swell; next, they exhale, letting the belly deflate while making a soft “pftt” sound. The sequence repeats to reinforce rhythmic, mindful breathing-emphasizing slow, controlled breaths that engage the core rather than shallow chest breathing.

Used on wellness, mindfulness, yoga, or respiratory therapy web pages to visually teach beginners how to perform diaphragmatic breathing; matches user intent for stress reduction, anxiety management, or COPD/pulmonary rehab guidance.
