I'm breathing anyway. What do I need to learn?
I'm breathing already!
Why should I learn about breath?
Most of us know very well how to use 10%percent of our brain, our lungs, our life our potential and tell ourselves this stressed out automated behavioural loops of repeated habitual living are the best that we can do. And we are working very hard to maintain it thank you very much.

We have our doctors, our therapists, our personal trainers our apps and watches and of course we have heard about the force we have seen star wars and occasionally indulged ourselves in dafveda breathing for fun in the office and we assumed it was the joking around that made us feel so good. What the hell we are working every minute on improving ourselves and trying to change, save and protect this fragile crazy beautiful world what could possibly be the advantage of lying flat out on your back and breathing.
The benefits are immense. Numerous books have been written about it many of which I have read. Masses of research and more and more opportunities to learn about breath are occurring but nothing beats real experience and having a trained facilitator work with you and examine your breath.
On a very basic level - lying on your back and breathing will relax you and that is an immense step away from stress. Calming the nervous system, moving from fight/flight automated high adrenaline response pattern we are locked into. Learning this alone is so empowering. To take control of our mood and responses all the way down to our chemical level of what hormones we are releasing in our blood that are keeping us stuck in that reactive mode.
Once the whole system starts to calm down the work can begin. The activity of breath work is like a capsule of silence, stillness and solitude that you can drop into briefly, quickly and regularly. Establishing your connection with your centre and base. Then taking the reigns of your life and driving your chariot through your destiny. Alive with more joy, grace and ease.
