WHO IS THIS FOR
Adults over 14 years who want to learn about the science of breathing and how it affects stress and anxiety, performance, digestion, mood, and mental focus. The main impact of this training is to improve breathing mechanics, boost lung health, and learn how to use the breath to influence the nervous system. With practice, your body will respond to daily stressors more effectively because you will have trained it to adapt and respond versus react.
