COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will introduce breathing and breath practice into your traditional therapeutic techniques. Experience the positive side effects of conscious breathing and breath awareness. Discover the progression of applying breath practice as a complementary treatment technique for many medical conditions. Breath practice can be used as a healing agent in the treatment of neurological disorders, arthritis, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Learn how breath practice can support athletic performance, relaxation, metal preparedness, immune system function and health. 

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1) Apply breathing exercises for the treatment of medical conditions, such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, neurological disorders, arthritis/rheumatology, multi-symptom disorders, ortho,      and autonomic nervous system imbalance.

2) Direct breath for specific benefits: improving therapeutic outcomes, activating the immune system, balancing the nervous system, relaxing the body, reducing stress, enhancing athletic      performance, enhancing mental preparedness, reducing pain.

3) Explore the physiological benefits of breath practice, and conversely learn how our learned dysfunctional breathing techniques support “un-wellness” within the body.

4) Engage breath techniques for the support of all therapeutic exercise and daily functioning. 

5) Begin your own breath practice, experience the benefits for yourself, then teach others.
