Abdominal breathing vs proper posture
I am having trouble "reconciling" having a proper posture while doing abdominal breathing.
If I understand correctly, proper posture should involve pulling the abdomen in, among other things, while diaphragmatic (belly) breathing involves exactly the opposite.
Is it possible to keep the abdomen tucked in, and breathe abdominally at the same time?

Common issue, you misconceive that pulling belly in is correcting your Lumbar Lordosis, or Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT).
Your erector spinae (lower back spinal muscles) and hip flexors tend to be tight (and should be stretched), and the glutes and abdominals tend to be weak (and should be strengthened). This typically causes one's butt and gut to stick out. Check here for some guidance on fixing your posture:
