‘Breathe & be Free’ will give you an understanding of how some simple adjustments to your breathing patterns can have a massive effect on your mental and emotional wellbeing and indeed your overall health.

 

We will do 3 simple tests to analyze your current breathing patterns and how they are affecting you, health-wise. Once this is done, it’s time to learn specially designed exercises that address breathing pattern disorders and provide methods of overcoming stress and anxiety.

 

How you breathe is key to you taking the steps needed to return to a better way of being. Improper breathing makes you anxious  - while correct breathing makes you more relaxed and more like the person you were meant to be.

Looking at how you breathe now, and giving you exercises that can be done in bed before sleep, or in front of the TV, will return you to good mental health and a general sense of wellbeing, which is key to a better life for you and those you care about.
