Transformative Effects on ADHD Symptoms include:

Improved Focus and Concentration: Regular breathwork increases oxygen to the brain and body, which can enhance energy levels and mental clarity.
Stress Reduction: By regulating the breath and nervous system, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting our body from the stress-induced fight-or-flight to relaxation, calming the mind and reducing anxiety.
Emotional Regulation: Breathwork aids in processing emotions managing mood swings and dysregulation, common in ADHD, which can result in a more stable emotional state.
Reduced Hyperactivity: By inducing a state of relaxation, breathwork can help mitigate feelings of restlessness and hyperactivity, promoting a sense of inner peace.
Embracing breathwork techniques can serve as a valuable complementary practice alongside other strategies, helping to manage symptoms effectively and improve overall well-being.

Testimonials:
“I’ve done Wim Hof breathing and Pranayama before but this felt way more powerful. I lost all track of time and my mind went from a tsunami of thousand thoughts, to a glacial lake of calm. It left my body feeling energised, my brain clear-thinking and an overall feeling of calm. ADHD laughs in the face of regular meditation. This is different. Try it; it really will help you close down some tabs.”

Lorelei Mathias, Author, Comedian & Creator of award-winning web series ‘Life in ADHD’
"Breathe with ADHD’ on Saturday, and it left my ADHD brain, how do you say… quiet? It was such a weird but necessary sensation! Steve is the breath guy for people like me—none of the over-the-top woo-woo, just practical, calming techniques that actually work. Highly recommend it for anyone who needs to quiet the chaos, even if just for a little while and learn a natural coping mechanism for their busy adhd mind 🥰"

“I had a really profound experience with Steve at Breathe with ADHD. The breath work session was skilfully led from start to finish it felt safe, immersive and engaging. I’ve attended a few group breath work sessions and this was my deepest and most enjoyable experience to date”.

"As this was my first contact with Breathwork I arrived with an open mind to how this would help with my ADHD. The session was expertly led by Steve for beginning to end. I found myself connected to an inner calm and my mind became a lot clearer and more spacious. I found that in the days after the session I was able to easily reconnect to this and found myself feeling a lot less anxious than I might usually find myself. Will definitely return. Thanks Steve"

“Steve Whiteley’s Breathe with adhd course was a super experience I would thoroughly recommend all to try. I don’t have adhd but meditate daily and the experience gave me a whole new perspective of the power of breathing under Steve's guidance. I will definitely be taking this up and going to his future courses.”
Craig F - Entrepreneur
“Steve didn’t so much open my third eye as completely blast the eyelid off with a breathwork laser beam. I had a profoundly exhilarating experience in my very first session, made serious progress in recovering from a 6 month bout of depression and gained in my capacity to commit to my work and love in my marriage. Steve was a magnificent guide before, during and after this experience. What could have been overwhelming, was instead focused, insightful and very productive".
I highly recommend this workshop, and cannot WAIT to do more.”

“Wow!!! I had no idea what to expect and had no expectations before having a breathwork session with Steve. He created a space where I felt so comfortable to maximize my experience. He guided me through every step and the experience was incredible. It is now 2 days later and I still have the most amazing feeling of inner calm. Thank you ”
