Making Every Breath Count Toward a Stronger, Healthier Mind and Body

Are stress relief and better health just a breath away? While the concept of using breathing for health and wellness may seem impossibly simplistic, every system within our bodies relies on the oxygen we take into our lungs to function. Yes, that means that how we breathe impacts everything from cognitive ability to digestion. Why wouldn’t you want to invest time into learning how to breathe for optimal function?

Intentional breathing allows us to use our breath to improve physical and mental function by ensuring that the diaphragm can enjoy a full range of motion. Unfortunately, most of us have trained ourselves to breathe improperly over the years. That means that we’re unwittingly throttling our oxygen levels with dangerous implications for our health and well-being. The good news is that simply learning how to breathe intentionally can boost how we feel, react and perform. Take a look at the benefits of using breathwork techniques and strategies for achieving better health!
