I have a cramping sensation in my diaphram when doing breathwork. What should I do?

Sharp pain or cramping isn't normal and you may need to take it easier. If you continue to practice, don't push yourself to the point of cramping.

The diaphragm in that area may be guarding from ribcage shape changes that naturally occur during pregnancy and working gently is key.

Muscle cramping can also be a sign of needing more electrolytes. Bananas are great for that.
