Language: English

Details:

Our breath is the bridge that joins our mind with our body. We breathe an average of 10-15 breaths per minute which is approximately 21,000 breaths per day. That is amazing! How we breathe during our day whether we are stressed or relaxed plays a major roll in determining our current and future state of well-being. When we don’t breathe naturally and efficiently, it can affect our stress levels, emotions, quality of sleep, digestion and immune system to name a few.

Ancient yogis realized over 4000 years ago that quantity and quality of breath largely influences our quality and length of life.

Our lives growing up from childhood instill habits within that for many prevent them from breathing efficiently in daily life or being able to adapt the appropriate breathwork for changing their energies when needed (example: negative emotion).

Look at a baby breathing and you will find the first steps towards breathing naturally and towards deeper calmness, clarity and balance.
