Body-oriented breathing training

Many people recognize that feeling of restlessness in your body, of nervousness. Your breathing moves emotionally from your stomach to your ribs or even higher and your breathing rate shoots up. Sometimes it is difficult to relax afterwards.

 

With prolonged stress, your breathing slowly becomes disrupted. In an almost imperceptible way, you begin to breathe more and more shallowly and less efficiently. This costs your body an unnecessary amount of energy and can cause various physical and mental tension complaints.

 

In this 4 or 8 week training you will learn, with the help of breathing exercises, how to feel better about your body and how to recognize your body's stress signals. You learn to relax, to remain calm in stressful situations and to let go of your emotions. You get "tools" to prepare for exams and insight into how you can influence your physical and mental health.

Participants who have completed this experience experience that they can do more than they previously thought.

 

The following topics are covered in this training:

·        How do you breathe?

·        What is the importance of proper breathing and sports/exercise?

·        The scientific background of breathing and the benefits of breathing exercises

·        How do you learn to recognize stress in your body and how can you lower your stress levels using your breath?
