Breath and Core

http://www.alignforhealth.com/blog/breathing-and-core-stability

The key to true core stability is to develop motor control, timing and coordination of the intrinsic muscles first, and then develop the abs, obliques and back muscles once the inner stabilization system is firing and wiring together.

Diaphragmatic breathing is a great way to reconnect the inner core muscles

Action of the diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation

The Rhythm of the Respiratory Cycle: During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts while the pelvic floor and the deep abdominal muscles relax. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes while the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles contract.
