Breath FX Workshop

Master your Breathing

Develop a solid breathing foundation

The purpose of The Breath FX workshop is to improve the ability to control and regulate one’s breathing patterns to enhance performance and / or general wellbeing. This can have a variety of benefits, including:

1. Improve lung function: By training to inhale and exhale more efficiently, we can improving overall lung and nervous system function.
2. Reduce stress and anxiety: Correct breathing techniques can help to calm the mind and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
3. Improve focus and concentration: Breath control training can help improve focus and concentration by calming the mind and reducing distractions.

6. Improve overall health and well-being: By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which can have a positive impact on various bodily systems. The three components of Breath Fx workshops are:

The breath is perhaps the most under rated, yet possibly the most important component of health, performance and stress control, underpinning and regulating every function in the human body. However, the majority of people are completely unaware of how they breathe or how they should breathe to optimise their health and performance.

During this workshop participants learn how to breathe, assess and correct their breathing and will perform simple, effective drills to reinforce the theoretical aspects of the workshop. The techniques shared are simple, safe, effective, easily remembered and can be continued after the course.

At the end of the workshop participants have an option to experience a 2 minute cold immersion. The cold exposure provides participants an opportunity to use breathing protocols to control their response to stress.

During this workshop cold immersion is used purely as a stressor and breath control tool. However, there are many additional benefits associated with cold water immersion which is an ancient practice with roots in many cultures, particularly those in high latitudes. Such as, Scandinavian populations who have long proclaimed the use of post-sauna cold exposure to rinse off toxins, jump-start blood flow, and release endorphins.

Cold exposure can result in a profound increase (200-300%) in dopamine release and possibly the release of DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) a naturally occurring hallucinogenic. Even Hippocrates and Thomas Jefferson touted the benefits of immersing themselves in cold water.
