Description

After 18 months, each of us are experiencing the burden of Covid and lockdowns.

Therapist or client, young or old, working more or working less, we can all reduce stress levels by taking slow breaths each day. Slow breathing is a simple skill to improve our health and wellbeing. It is an evidence based, non-pharmacological, free and portable way to minimise the impact of constant stress from Covid, lockdowns and restrictions.

This dynamic presentation offers an introduction to basic biomechanics of respiration and outlines recent research in how slow breaths reduce conditions such as anxiety. This seminar teaches you how to slow the breath and breathe more deeply, to improve mental and physical health. The practical sessions enable you to gain proficiency in this efficacious skill that you can use anywhere, anytime!

  1. Understand basic biomechanics of diaphragmatic breathing
