Breathing To Thrive

The breath is a fundamental pillar of our well-being but sadly it is often overlooked.

This course will help you create a deeper awareness of your breath, move you towards more functional breathing patterns, and guide you through a range of contemporary and ancient breathing techniques.

Each session is a combination of theory and practice, so you are confident with the ‘why’ and ‘how’ when it comes to breathing techniques. Understand the roles gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide play in our well-being. How stress affects the breath and how we can use the breath to break stress cycles. Then, leverage breathing techniques to enhance contraction, aid sleep, and build resilience.

Once you have the grounding these techniques will be something you will enjoy dropping into each and everyday, so you can meet the challenges of modern life.

Leçon 1: Breath Awareness

Develop a greater awareness of your breath in order to learn how to breathe more efficiently. Start to notice the muscles involved and how slowing down your breathing influences your nervous system.

Leçon 2: CO2 Tolerance

The urge to breathe arises from CO2, not from a lack of oxygen. As a result, a key component in why many of us overbreathe is our relationship with CO2. Embark on a breathing technique that uses neuroplasticity to change our nervous systems response to CO2.

Leçon 3: Strength

Start to enhance the ability of your primary breathing muscles. Today we use gentle resistance in the form of Ujjayi pranayama and alternate nostril breathing to get our diaphragm and abdominal wall firing.

Leçon 4: Creating Space

Our lungs need space to fully expand. Modern postures, tight clothing, and tension in the body gets in the way of our lungs being fully utilized. Explore some techniques to gain space for our respiratory system to operate more efficiently.

Leçon 5: Coherence

Combine the techniques you have already learnt to warm you up for coherent breathing. Coherent breathing uses the optimal breathing ratio to activate your vagus nerve and bring your nervous system into a state of calm.

Leçon 6: Deep Relaxation

Leverage the practice of Bhramari pranayama to increase the nitric oxide levels for more efficient oxygenation of the body. This practice also creates deep states of calm because of the humming sound that resonates around the head.

Leçon 7: Combinations

It's not often that something can be energizing and calming at the same time but try this combination of the previous practices we have explored. This session will oxygenate your body and mind while putting your nervous system at ease ready for the challenges that lie ahead.

Leçon 8: Daily Practice

Continue to enhance your respiratory system and nervous system with this 20-minute daily practice.

Great course! I enjoyed the soft voice, slow rhythm, the calm, and the information about the different techniques.
I liked that the practice wasn't guided ut at your own pace.
I really recommend it.
Thank you!

Good explanations and no couting, so you can adapt the exercises to your own rhythm easily. Nice and calming voice and the music fits just right.

Fantastic course. I loved how each day built on the techniques from the past days. I plan to repeat Day 8 every day as part of my morning practice. Thank you for creating this course!

Really great techniques and very easy to follow. You have a beautiful calming voice. 🙏♥️

This was FANTASTIC! I did this every night before bed and slept peacefully through the night each night. Previously I was waking up once or twice- even more during the night. If I skipped a night my body went back to restless sleep. I plan to do the 8 days again. I want to make taking fewer breaths a habit. Thank you so much for this practice.
