Episode notes
Breathing and Mobility
- Peter Lakatos noticed 90% of people improved shoulder mobility after one minute of crocodile breathing.
- This simple observation convinced him of the power of breathing exercises.
Prone vs. Supine Breathing
- For better postural correction, consider prone crocodile breathing.
- It helps engage the diaphragm and relax spinal muscles more effectively than supine breathing.

- Supporting the upper body allows the diaphragm to focus solely on respiration, accelerating heart rate recovery.
