🌬️✨ "Breathing is contagious" - a gentle reminder that our little ones absorb more than we realize. Kids watch and learn from the grown-ups around them, soaking in every breath. ⁠
⁠
🧘‍♂️💖 Before guiding them on the path of mindful breathing, let's check in on our own habits. Are we modeling calm, intentional breaths or unintentionally passing on fast and shallow patterns? 🤔👀 ⁠
⁠
It's the small changes we make that ripple into big impacts for the next generation. ⁠
⁠
Take a moment to breathe on purpose, “B.O.P.”, because the breath they see is the breath they'll be. 🌈👶 ⁠
⁠
⁠
👣 Ready to pave the way for mindful breathing in your child's world?⁠
⁠
🌬️✨ Start by optimizing your breathing habits first. 💆‍♀️⁠

Our breath is a powerful reflection of our emotions, and understanding this connection can be a game-changer, especially for kids. ⁠
⁠
Let's take a closer look at how our breathing often changes with various emotions:⁠
⁠
😀😡😱😊😢⁠
⁠
😀 Happiness & Excitement:⁠
- Breath Pattern: Quick, light, and often accompanied by laughter.⁠
- Example: Imagine the excitement of a child on their birthday; the breath is quick and bubbly, reflecting the positive energy.⁠
⁠
😡 Anger & Frustration:⁠
- Breath Pattern: Shallow, rapid, and often accompanied by sharp exhales.⁠
- Example: Picture a child who can't get their toy to work or is frustrated with a challenging task. The breath becomes quick and choppy, reflecting the intensity of the emotion.⁠
⁠
😱 Fear & Anxiety:⁠
- Breath Pattern: Shallow, rapid breaths with tightness in the chest.⁠
- Example: Think of a child facing something they're scared of, like the dark or a thunderstorm. The breath becomes shallow, reflecting the body's automatic response to prepare for a perceived threat.⁠
⁠
😊 Calmness & Contentment:⁠
- Breath Pattern: Deep, slow, and rhythmic breaths.⁠
- Example: Picture a child peacefully reading a book or enjoying a quiet moment. The breath is deep and steady, reflecting a sense of calm and contentment.⁠
⁠
😢 Sadness & Grief:⁠
- Breath Pattern: Slow, deep sighs, and sometimes irregular breathing.⁠
- Example: Imagine a child feeling sad after a disappointment or loss. The breath becomes slower, mirroring the heaviness of the emotion.⁠
⁠
⁠
😀😡😱😊😢⁠
⁠
Understanding these patterns can help you guide your children to navigate emotions through breath awareness. By teaching kids to notice and regulate their breath, we empower them to manage various emotional states with grace and resilience. ⁠
⁠
⁠
🌬️✨ Ready to spark a breath of calm in your child's day? 🧘‍♂️⁠

🌬️✨ Teaching breathwork to kids = empowering young minds! 💪 ⁠
⁠
Here are 5 reasons why it's a game-changer for your little ones! 🧒👧 ⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Emotional Regulation: Teaching children breathwork gives them a powerful tool for emotional regulation. By learning to control their breath, kids can develop a greater awareness of their emotions and learn how to respond calmly to challenging situations. This skill can be invaluable in navigating the ups and downs of childhood.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Improved Focus: Proper breathing techniques can enhance focus and concentration. By incorporating breathwork into a child's routine, you're helping them develop the ability to stay present and attentive, which can be beneficial in academic settings, extracurricular activities, and even during playtime.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Enhanced Self-Awareness: Breathwork encourages mindfulness, which in turn promotes self-awareness. When children are more aware of their thoughts and feelings, they can make better choices and understand the impact of their actions. This heightened self-awareness can contribute to improved interpersonal relationships and overall personal growth.⁠
⁠
4️⃣ Stress Reduction: Just like adults, children experience stress. Stress can take a toll on kids, whether it's academic pressures, social challenges, or simply the fast-paced nature of modern life. Breathwork offers a simple and effective way for children to manage stress, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Building Resilience: Life is full of challenges, and building resilience early on is crucial. Teaching breathwork to children instills a sense of resilience by providing them with a tool to navigate difficulties. As they face various situations, breathing mindfully can empower them to approach challenges with a calm and composed mindset.⁠
⁠
Ready to empower your child with the magic of breathwork? 🌈✨ ⁠
Swipe through these benefits and start the journey to a calmer, more resilient kiddo! 🚀 ⁠

🤔 Did you know that your posture affects how you breathe, which directly affects how you feel? ⁠
⁠
According to @drbelisa, creator of #thebreathingclass, "Poor posture can affect your ability to breath by up to 30%." 😳 ⁠
⁠
Simply put...if your posture is poor, your breathing will be poor. ⁠
⁠
👩🏻‍💻 Many of us spend way too much time slouched over a computer screen or iPhone, which can lead to something called Forward Head Posture (when your head is positioned so that your ears are in front of your shoulders). Check yourself out from the side. Are your ears directly over your shoulders or inching forward?⁠
⁠
What poor breathing posture looks like:⁠
• Shoulders rounded⁠
• Neck jutting forward⁠
• Selfie “butt"⁠
• Gut sucked in “stiff”⁠
• Chest puffed ⁠
• Mouth open⁠
• Forward head posture (FHP) with ears in front of your shoulders⁠
⁠
Your head is heavy (about 10 pounds). If your neck and shoulders support that dead weight all day long, it is no wonder why so many people have chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain.⁠
⁠
⁠
👧🏽🧒 𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀: 👧🏽🧒🏼⁠
*𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦⁠
• stand up and place a bean bag, book, or #bebuddy on your head⁠
• pull the chin back so that your ears are over the shoulders (use a mirror if that helps)⁠
• relax your shoulders away from your ears ⁠
• reach the crown of the head toward the sky⁠
• breathe naturally as you carefully walk and balance the object on your head (if it falls off, no biggie, just put it back on and try again). 💪🏼⁠
⁠
My mission is to help kids learn healthy breathing habits early in life so that they have the tools to self-regulate, boost lung health, and increase endurance using the power of the breath. ⁠
⁠
🧡 This is why I developed a one-of-a-kind breathing tool to help kids have fun while developing this vital life skill. 🧡⁠
