What are some ways to learn to breath from your diaphragm?

My voice teacher is always telling me to breath from my diaphragm but its always hard for me. She tells me to put my hands on my waist and if I feel my fingers expanding to the front and my thumb expanding to the back then I am breathing properly but when I do that I feel like the air isn’t going to my lungs and like I’m out of breath or like I’m holding my breath. I’m not sure how to explain it. I don’t have the best posture could that be why?

A good way breathe through your diaphragm is to lay flat on your back and as you breathe imagine a red balloon being filled with air as you breath in and out. Laying down will help you stay relaxed and focused which will help you keep your shoulders down. Ask your vocal teacher for some exercises in strengthening your diaphragm. A strong diaphragm allows you to hold notes longer with a nice full sound to them.
