Why Is Coaching breathing with science-based tools and holistic focus so important?

Breath is the main tool to affect the nervous system. Through breath, regulating the nervous system and stress levels becomes available to anyone!

Sleeping problems, anxiety, hypertension, fear, concentration problems, digestive issues and low energy can be efficiently treated with breathing tools.

Chaotic breathing rhythm and various dysfunctional breathing habits correlate strongly with various chronic conditions and disorders. There is a strong need for high-quality breath coaching! Health care professionals, coaches, yoga teachers and bodyworkers need to know how to guide breathing.

The world of breathwork is vast. There is a lot of misinformation, myths and in some cases even harmful tools out there. To base your breathing toolbox on knowledge of science, physiology and psychology, will benefit you and your clients in the long run.

A human being is not a machine. Intensive emotions, traumas, past experiences and dissociation from the body are all visible in one’s breathing patterns. When you affect the breath, you affect the whole being. It is important to learn to appreciate the breath from different perspectives.

Breath can be used consciously, but getting a grasp of the deeper dimensions of the breath is essential for building an authentic connection to oneself and eventually, healing on all levels.

Breathing patterns affect your self-esteem, confidence and efficiency of communication. Breathing is essential in improving your first impression and relating to other people on a more profound level.

As dysfunctional breathing habits very often cause hypertension in the body, it is essential to know some basic somatic practices for releasing and restoring balance.

Not all opt for meditation as a calming, restoring practice. Still practices will bring up a lot of anxiety and unease among a great part of the population. Skillful use of the breath can be a much more accessible practice for many.

Let your free and functional breath flow!

Whom Is This For?

Training is designed for (but not limited only to)

Life / health coaches who want to widen their understanding of breath, nervous system and somatic tools for serving their clients in a more holistic way
Yoga teachers - to increase skills in cuing breath and affecting the nervous system in a desired way, to understand the foundations of pranayama techniques and their goals
Health care professionals
Physiotherapists
Psychologists, psychotherapists and those giving work counseling - to incorporate breathing tools, somatic practices and the polyvagal perspective into their work
Other mental health professionals (working for example with burnout and CFS/ME patients)
Other therapists and bodyworkers
Fitness coaches and personal trainers - to help their clients recover faster, train safer and increase aerobic capacity with the help of breath
School teachers, kindergarten teachers, youth work specialists
HR professionals and those working in professions of interaction
Those who value knowledge, accurate scientific information and evidence-based tools but do not shy introduction to the spiritual realms of the breath
Those looking for more professional tools to help, serve and support their clients
Those interested in self-development, natural tools for stress & nervous system regulation, recovery and healing, finding their own voice and setting healthy boundaries

Whom Is This Not For?

The training introduces a wide knowledge base that will support you both professionally and personally for the rest of your life. However, if you are at the moment very exhausted, burned out, extremely busy or in an acute state in which taking care of yourself is more important than educating yourself into breathing and nervous system health, this training might not be for you.
If you are looking for quick fixes or protocols for your own or for your client’s situation. Coaching is about applying the learned knowledge in real life situations, meeting the client where he/she is and working with the client together searching solutions for problems. It’s a process, as is breath.
