Clavicular breathing, also known as upper chest or Ādhya Śvāsa, involves raising the collar bones during inhalation and lowering them during exhalation. This technique engages the upper lobes of the lungs and enhances oxygen delivery to the upper respiratory regions. Practicing this method improves respiratory awareness and complements full lung capacity. It is typically performed in Ādi Mudra for five rounds with slow and steady breaths.
