Breathing

Do you get nervous or stressed out? Learning to take control of your breathing can help.

How does learning to breath better help?

While most of your survival functions are automatic in nature (like heart rate, blood pressure), breathing is both voluntary and automatic within the body.

The Stress Response

If you experience a stress response, like work stress or running away from a lion, you typically enter a sympathetic state or a fight or flight response. The bodies’ responds and reacts and changes some of your automatic functions by raising them. Things like breath rate, blood pressure and heart rate may rise. After the stress response is removed typically these functions go back to a more parasympathetic state (Relaxed). If you’re under this type of stress for a long time, this can cause issues with those body systems. Your body goes back and forth from sympathetic and parasympathetic states. It is this balance that can help keep you calm and perform better under stressful situations.

As breathing is classified as voluntary you can use some simple techniques to go back to a more parasympathetic, relaxed state.

Watch a FREE Calm Breathing class here. This was part of a corporate zoom class. These types of classes can be done before during or after meetings for you or your staff. Feel free to inquire below.

This type of breath work can be part of a kinstretch class or can be done on its own. This type training is a great way to learn to control your mind and nervous system when under stress, both mental and physical. If you mind or body is always on go-go-go, its always good to fit a training session that focuses on the opposite.

Learn even more about kinstretch through their website here.
