No. The diaphragm is a muscle below the lungs that aids in drawing in air to the lungs more completely when you take a deep breath. A strong diaphragm also aids in breath control, especially in athletes and singers. Deep breathing is good for everybody , and should be practiced for optimal lung expansion. Shallow breathing hardly moves your chest, in deep breathing, you can see and feel your ribcage move.
