The Essence of Breath

Reshape Your Life!

Explore breathing!

Your breath by nature is designed to keep you healthy, energetic, happy and full of vitality. Everyday stresses have an impact on your well-being. Did you know that your pattern of breathing changes due to stresses? These changes impact our wellbeing over time.

The good news is that you can positively impact all areas of your life by utilizing breathing techniques. There are a number of different methods that can produce immediate results; including stress reduction, feelings of peace and inner calm, improved focus, increased clarity, creativity, overall well-being and higher states of consciousness. Using the techniques can range from short sessions 2 to 5 minutes to 45 minutes per session/use.

During this workshop you will learn about the nature of the breath, how it is impacted by stressors and practice several breathing techniques which you can use anytime to improve your emotional reactivity, stabilize mood and overall wellbeing.

What will you experience as a result of the training:
 Greater awareness of your breath
