The purpose of The Breath FX Instructor certification provide participants the skills and knowledge to pass on our teachings to their clients. Retraining dysfunctional breathing patterns and to use their breathing to control their autonomic toning. developing a variety of benefits, including:

1. Improve lung function: By training clients to inhale and exhale more efficiently, we can improve their 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.

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.
