What was said

"Belly breathing created for example is it created more issues than helped really. Yeah. extremely oversimplified thing where there is already a displacement, a breaking of the proper posture. The diaphragm is the primary breath apparatus."

Ido Portal argues that popular breathwork guidance is often reduced to simplistic rules. He says “belly breathing” can create problems by distorting posture and that breathing should adapt to the demands of each situation.
