Beyond Breath - An Introduction To Art of Living Part 1

In the ‘Beyond Breath’ intro session you will learn how to use your breath to instantly get rid of stress and manage your emotions - right from your own home.

We all go through challenging and uncertain times, and yet these times give us an opportunity to grow and seek inner calm despite the uncertainty surrounding us.

In this 75 min workshop you will get the chance to pause, take a breath and clear your mind with the help of a calming breathing technique and a guided meditation.

## How breath helps reduce stress and anxiety

Did you know that breathing techniques can quickly help you to release stress and lower your anxiety?

Breathing techniques improve circulation and blood flow to the brain, and activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which means that our brain gets the message to relax. For example, doing the alternate breathing activates the left and right hemispheres of the brain. When balance is created between the two hemispheres, we feel less stressed and anxious, and more relaxed.

In this free workshop you will already learn a technique that you can practice daily to feel calm, centered and stress-free!

## Learn breathing exercises that boost health and immunity

Science is recognizing that proper breathing is essential for health. Targeted breathing exercises can actually boost our immunity and improve our overall health. Learning how to breathe is one factor that reduces our susceptibility to getting sick.

We breathe over 10,000 Litres of air per day, and the more expanded our lung capacity is, the more nutrients our body can absorb. It’s important to learn how to do breathing techniques under the proper guidance of a certified facilitator, so that we practice them in the right way to get the full benefit.
