“The act of breathing is living”

“The act of breathing is living” - Breathing Awareness Weekend with Eleanor Curtis

“Inhale, then exhale, that’s how you’ll get through it.”

Breathing practice can help you improve your breathing, improve your breath control, and improve your sense of well-being overall. Regular breathing practice makes you feel great!

Breathing practice can also:

• help you breathe more efficiently by improving your lung function
• help circulate fresh air into the lungs which intern improves oxygen levels in the body
• improves and strengthens the muscles around the diaphragm and abdomen
• helps reduce anxiety and helps you feel relaxed
• helps reduce depression by stimulating the vagus nerve
• gives you a sense of peace, wellbeing and contentment
• helps concentrate the mind and improve mental focus
• helps with better sleep
• helps better digestion

And more!

What is breathing practice?

Breathing practice is a series of breathing exercises. Some focus on different approaches to inhaling and exhaling, others focus on breath control and breath holding. The origins of these practices come from the ancient techniques of yoga breathing or pranayama; others originate from techniques used for freediving and others that have been developed to assist those who suffer from lung issues like asthma. Breathing practice brings about a sense of calm and a deep sense of well being in body and mind.
