How your breathing can change your life and transform your health by  Sophie Trew   4:00 PM UTC, Jul 3, 2024

This experiential and educational workshop uses the simplest, yet most powerful tool available to support your mental, physical and emotional health – your breath. Combined with a mix of tools and techniques, such as self-massage, sound, movement and visualisations, we will open up the respiratory system — sometimes for the first time — flooding the body with energy and vitality. You'll let go of stress, tension and anxiety. Everyday we take on average 20,000 breaths, yet most people are shallow breathing only using around 1/3rd of their lung capacity. We get around 90% of our energy from oxygen and through deeper breathing we can transform our health.

By the end of the webinar you’ll learn how your breath can support you to increase focus, release fear, feel more energised, creative, inspired, calm, balanced and relaxed in your daily life. Not to mention the benefits conscious breathing can have on your sleep and productivity levels. Your breath is a way to connect your mind and body, when you are more connected to yourself you can connect more to your intuition. When you have a stronger relationship with yourself this will support your relationship with others in your life, your colleagues and loved ones.

This workshop will offer navigation tools that are grounded and practical for those who are moving into their next phase and plan to curate a vibrant, meaningful, and intentional life. And by the way, you’re never too young or too old to learn from an elder!
