All of the advice given is great. I have found that many of my students work too hard to inhale and the result is very little air going into the lungs. When this happens, I ask them to take in LESS air on each breath. In just about every case this has allowed the student to relax and, in fact, take in more air! It's a bit of a mind game, but it has often worked where other techniques have not. I hope that this may be helpful for you.
