EASTERN TRADITION Holistic Body ‐ places little emphasis on anatomical structures, but is mainly 

concerned with the identification of functional entities (which regulate digestion, breathing, aging etc.). While health is perceived as harmonious interaction of these entities and the outside world, disease is 

interpreted as a disharmony in interaction.

LUNGS The two lungs are located near the backbone on either side of the heart. Their 

principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the 

atmosphere.

BOTH DIAPHRAGMS The diaphragms contain the inner organs between them, organs which can 

change shape, but cannot change volume.

 MUSCLE ACTION OF THE DIAPHRAGM 

Except in the case of paralysis, the diaphragm is always used in the action of inhaling and exhaling.

VOCAL DIAPHRAGM The action of the breath and the use of ujjayi creates better 

postural support in the body.

BANDHAS The valve created by the use of ujjayi breath develops a back pressure in the 

abdominal and thoracic cavities leading to sthira or stability.
