The Power of Breath

Learning how to breathe in a systematic, patterned way can have a tremendous impact on your overall health and stress levels. Breathwork is one of my favourite modalities to help shift the body out fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic nervous system where healing can occur. I am a certified breathwork and meditation teacher, and have taught both practices to hundreds of students to help them relieve stress, control anxiety, and promote relaxation. Topics covered in today's episode: *The significance of my karaoke song is explained at the end of the episode:) Healing benefits of the sun This practice can help improve your sleep Toxic sunscreens (my fav healthy sunscreen) My first time back at my school in a year My journey to breathwork If you have trouble meditating, breathwork might be for you Why it’s normal to feel resistance when creating a new habit They key to habit formation What is breathwork?
