Section Title
Why breathing matters
​
The parasympathetic nervous system supports rest, recovery, and repair.
Breathing is the most direct way to influence this system.
Under stress, breathing often becomes strained or excessive.
Stress alters breathing.
Altered breathing creates more stress.
This course helps you step off that loop.
This course focuses on how you breathe throughout the day, not just during formal practice.
This course is suitable for:
​
​• People whose breathing feels effortful, restless, or tense
• Those who want their body to feel more settled in daily life
• Anyone curious about breathing but unsure where to start
• Teachers who want to guide the breath more clearly and responsibly
​No prior experience is required.
