DESCRIPTION: Learn to breath more efficiently and in a way that can calm your nervous system and help you get more restful sleep. Buteyko breathing teaches you to breathe more gently and less rapidly and through your nose. You’ll learn to breathe slower and deeper, which balances your breathing rhythms and nervous system. Kathleen is teaching this class as part of her certification as a Buteyko breath practitioner. It involves exercises that teach you to breathe efficiently. It’s said that over time this breathing technique will become a natural part of your daily life. This class series may help with anxiety, fitness performance, sleep, and attention.
