Breathwork for Nervous System Regulation: How to Calm Anxiety, Reduce Stress & Build Resilience

Host Kate Boyle explains how the nervous system drives health, from sleep and digestion to mood, and how chronic stress shifts the body into survival mode. She introduces breathwork as a fast, controllable way to signal safety to the brain and shift from sympathetic (fight/flight) to parasympathetic (rest/digest) states. Kate shares three simple practices you can use today, plus tips for building short, consistent sessions. She also invites listeners to join an online breathwork series to learn guided techniques for nervous system regulation.   Want to try Breathwork?
