The mid-chest breath (pranayama) is focused on expanding the rib cage out to the sides, the front and the back. This movement channels air into the middle lobes of the lungs. The exhalation requires a squeezing effort to completely expel all of the air in the lungs.

The video is part of a breath-training series - the video before it is The Abdominal Breath and the video after it is The Upper Chest Breath.
