Breath For Wellbeing & Anxiety Management
Relearn to Breathe Like You Were Meant To
In this course you will have a safe space to explore your breath and harness the benefits of functional breathing.
We were (almost) all born breathing in a way that promote self-healing, vitality and calm. This is what we call functional breathing.
When we undergo moments of stress, our breath is designed to switch to allow us to react quickly to the trigger. However, due to stressful lives filled with expectations, traumatic events, and potentially chronic stress, many of use find ourselves stuck in this state of hyper-alertness. What it means is that our fear state breath becomes the norm and with it a cascade of health and emotional issues arise.
Our goal in this course is to help you bring awareness and understanding around your breath for long lasting change.
In this course you will learn the mechanic of the breath, understand its function, gain better awareness of your body, and retrain your baseline breath to be supportive to your health, wellbeing, emotional and mental state.
