Breathwork Fundamentals: The most vital yet often overlooked pillar of health. 

A change in breath can lead to a change in everything.
This course is your gateway to intentional breathing—guiding you to breathe more calmly, and effectively. By learning these techniques, you’ll take control of your well-being, one breath at a time.

What You’ll Learn

Week 1: Breathing Mechanics – Mastering Functional Breathing

Date: 3rd March (6pm – 7.30pm)

Welcome to Week 1 of your breathwork course! This week, we focus on understanding and mastering functional breathing—the foundation of a healthy, balanced mind and body. Proper breathing is something we often take for granted, but dysfunctional breathing habits are surprisingly common and can have a profound impact on your physical health, emotional stability, and mental clarity.

Why Breathing Mechanics Matter

Every breath influences the way you think, feel, and function. Breathing is the only aspect of the autonomic nervous system that we can consciously control, giving us a unique opportunity to directly impact:

• Energy levels
• Stress and anxiety
• Focus and mental clarity
• Posture and physical performance

Dysfunctional breathing patterns—like shallow chest breathing or mouth breathing—can lead to fatigue, tension, and a heightened stress response. By learning functional breathing, you can optimize oxygen delivery, improve posture, and enhance overall well-being.

Every state of body and mind has a breathing pattern, learn to breathe calm with each and every breath. This is so much more important than a breathwork practice or any technique or hack.   

Week 2: Downregulate – Activating Your Parasympathetic Nervous System Through Breathwork

Date: 10th March (6pm-7.30pm)

In Week 2, we focus on using specific breathwork techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS is the cornerstone of the “rest and digest” state, helping you move away from stress-induced “fight or flight” responses. Breathwork is a powerful tool to calm the mind, ease tension in the body, and promote restorative healing.

Why Breathwork for Downregulation?

Breathing is unique because it’s both automatic and something we can consciously control. This makes it a direct gateway to influencing the nervous system. By intentionally slowing and deepening the breath, you can:

• Reduce stress hormone levels (like cortisol)
• Lower heart rate and blood pressure
• Signal to your brain and body that you’re safe
• Improve digestion and immune function

Through consistent practice, breathwork can help you shift into a calm and grounded state, even in the face of stress.

Week 3: Activate – Energise and Focus with Breathwork

Date: 17th March (6pm-7.30pm)

Welcome to Week 3 of your breathwork journey! This week, we explore the powerful and invigorating side of breathwork: activation. By intentionally engaging the sympathetic nervous system, you can boost energy, sharpen focus, and cultivate a sense of vitality and drive.

Activation breathwork is ideal for moments when you need to feel energised, motivated, or mentally clear. Unlike the downregulating techniques from Week 2, these practices are designed to stimulate and awaken, creating a dynamic shift in your state.

The Role of Breath in Activation

Your breath is intricately tied to your energy levels and mental focus. Rapid, intentional breathing patterns can:

• Increase oxygen delivery to muscles and brain
• Stimulate the release of energising hormones, like adrenaline
• Enhance circulation and blood flow
• Sharpen cognitive function and mental clarity

While the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is often associated with stress, it can also be a source of vitality and readiness when activated mindfully and in balance. Breathwork offers a safe and controlled way to harness the SNS for peak performance without tipping into overwhelm.

Week 4: Performance Optimisation – Boost Endurance, Resilience, and Peak Performance

Date: 24th March (6pm-7.30pm)

Welcome to Week 4 of your breathwork journey! This final week focuses on performance optimisation—how to enhance your physical and mental capabilities through targeted breath techniques. Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or someone passionate about personal growth, breathwork can help you reach new levels of endurance, resilience, and overall performance.

Breathwork and Peak Performance

At its core, performance optimisation is about enhancing your body’s ability to function at its highest potential. Breathwork plays a pivotal role by influencing key aspects like oxygen delivery, energy regulation, and mental clarity. With the right techniques, you can tap into your body’s capacity for endurance, resilience, and focus, all while improving recovery times and reducing fatigue.

Course Structure

Each week includes a transformative breathwork session tailored to deepen your practice and elevate your health. These sessions are designed to leave you feeling empowered, balanced, and reconnected.
