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:

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.
