We're excited to bring you a transformative series of workshops led by the incredible Gemma Douglas, designed to help you and your family find calm, clarity, and connection through the power of breath. First up we have... Stress Less: The Power of Functional Breathing. Breathing is fundamental to our survival, yet many of us have developed dysfunctional breathing habits that negatively impact our lives. Since breathing is so automatic, we often aren't aware of these patterns. By learning to tune into our breath, we enhance our awareness and can help alleviate respiratory issues, paving the way for a more conscious way of living. While functional breathing isn’t a cure-all, it initiates a snowball effect towards more intentional living. As Michael J. Stephen, MD, notes, 'Science is beginning to investigate in a serious manner what humanity has known for centuries—that the breath can be used to heal the body.'
