WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
We all need help coping with strong emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear. Not to mention, we all can benefit from improving our mental health, increasing our self-awareness and enhancing our ability to sleep more soundly. Mindfulness does exactly that and so much more. It provides us with the necessary techniques that allow us to not get overwhelmed by our emotional states but instead learn from them in order to live a more productive and less reactive life. Meditation encourages us to come full cycle and relax the body and mind into the present moment to fully enjoy each day.
Breath work is the easiest and most effective way to awaken your full potential and connect with your true self. The breathing exercises you will learn are simple yet very effective. They focus on the knowledge of using the breath as a tool to improve mental and physical wellbeing. Each session will guide you through specific pranayama techniques and breath work practices aimed at opening your breathing system and working energetically on a deeper level to achieve the maximin benefits of establishing your own powerful breathing practice.
Our breath affects all systems of our body. Pranayama techniques, rooted in ancient yoga practices from India, and Breath work, a modern breathing practice with a more scientific approach, both are proven to be very beneficial in treating a great range of mental and physical issues. With our breathing, we can strengthen, stimulate and balance the systems fueling of our bodies. By establishing a regular breathing practice, one can detoxify their body, boost their immune system, increase their energy levels, reduce anxiety & depression, better manage daily stress levels, sleep more deeply & restoratively, increase brain empowerment for better focus, and work toward more optimal healing of their mind & body.
