Breathe Yourself Better In 1 Week

This course will explain the science behind breathing and the changes you can make to optimise it. Each episode will introduce you to a new technique of breathwork, explain the history, philosophy and science behind it and then give you a chance to try it out for yourself. You'll learn the following techniques: Physiological Sigh, Box Breathing, Diaphramic Breathing, 3 part Breathing, 4.7.8, Alkaline breathing, Alternative Nostril Breathing.

Lección 1: A Breath Of Fresh Research

Welcome to this course!!! In this episode, I will introduce you to why we breathe, why I need it for work and how it impacts our nervous system. Knowing all this will add to your appreciation of the power of the breath and make you a more conscious breather. I'll end the episode with an opportunity to feel the impact of breathing.

Lección 2: Join The Diaphragm-Alam

We have all had a lifetime of breathing experience, however, not all of us do it correctly. In this episode, you'll learn how to breathe optimally. You'll learn about our breathing muscle and how we can utilise physics to get our best breath of air. We'll end with a guided breath exercise.

Lección 3: Trilogies Are The Best

We love breaking things up into threes. Breathing is no different. In this episode learn about nose breathing and then a full guided session to show you the full capacity of the diaphragm. This is essential to learn to control your breath going forward. Plus, it feels great!!

Lección 4: Box Breathing (Sama Vritti)

In this session, we get to implement all the lessons we have learnt so far and add in a breath-hold. The idea is simple enough. Breathe in, hold, breathe out hold all for a count of 4. I'll guide you through to make sure you're remembering all we have learnt so far. If you want to do a full version of this with just the breathing check out my premium track, "Box Breath"

Lección 5: And Relax...

The 4,7,8 technique is a powerful tool for relaxation. In this guided session you'll begin to feel the full effect of this breathing as you drift into a calm state. There are a host of benefits that come from this type of breathing so listen up and start to enjoy all it has to offer! If you enjoy this type of breathing check out my premium tracks, I have an extended session there without all the intro, just straight to the breathing. It's called "4,7,8 Breath"

Lección 6: Alkaline To Feel Fine

I have a great one for you here! This is officially my favourite way to breathe. It's like most demanding type of breath work we are going to do. You'll learn how this works, the surprising benefit of it and feel the impact of it first-hand! I have some variations of just the breathing in my premium track area if you want to do this breathing daily.

Lección 7: Alternate Nostril Breathing

We have already covered the importance of nose breathing, but does it matter which nostril we breathe into? Turns out that ancient yogis and contemporary science have something to say about this. I'll explain both perspectives here and end the course by giving you an opportunity to feel it. Enjoy.

Thank you so much for the inspiring course ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am excited about all the different ways to breathe and get conscious what I do with the amazing information.

Terrific. Brilliant instruction. Satisfying results. Highly recommended.

I listen to Doug’s Perfect 5 min Morning Routine regularly so I was delighted to come across this breathing course. It was exactly what I needed to explore breath work further. He makes everything fun and easy to understand.

Doug does a beautiful job of pairing traditional beliefs and practices with contemporary science. His explanations and instructions are clear without being overly simplistic and his delivery inspires confidence. After taking this course, I better understand how, when, & why to use specific breathing practices that I've long been aware of.

Thank you so much. I loved all the different ways of breathing and I already integrated some of them in my daily practice! very clear and engaging teaching . Great course 💯

Left nostril here - thanks for helping me to perform 4-7-8 which was impossible before. Yours is the best course for me (also understood why Tummo is not good for anxious people...) you did a great job with smile and sense of humour. I'll look for your work and have a very nice life !!!
