Foundations Of Breathwork & The Science Behind It

Using breath awareness we will strengthen your brain to muscle pathways (neuroplasticity). This will give you more control over how you breathe and enable you to move the muscles in the torso more freely. This will allow you to not only take deeper/ fuller breaths but also result in more movement being available in your body (less tension in your shoulders, neck, and back - heavenly).

Using your awareness of how you are breathing, you will begin to adjust the speed and length of your breath. I will first describe what is happening within the body and why we need to be able to access the stress response (yes, it is a genuinely useful state, in the right situations). Finally, I will explain a way of how you can use your breath to move away from the stress response and into a calmer state of mind (and body).

In this lesson, you will learn how to bring more oxygen into the body (in just one breath). Oxygen is the number one thing your body wants and needs to survive. I will then discuss how you can alter your breath so unpleasant emotions become less intense to experience.

How you can use your breath to switch toward a feeling of safety. A description of how the nervous system reacts to a perceived stressor and why your body responds in this way. Finally how the breath can change the brain's structure by creating new pathways/ associations (neuroplasticity).

This lesson looks into your lungs. You will discover why your inhale is also important in the relaxation process when performed in a particular way. Followed by the fastest way you can calm your body in real-time (immediate relief).

All of the previous lessons were your foundations for this final breathwork. I will give you a unique and vital ingredient for your breathwork by walking you through a short and simple test. Followed by how to perform the breathwork and why it will help bring you long term relief from stress and anxiety in the future.
