Turn Stress into Calm:

5-Week Course

Manage Stress, Balance Your Nervous System & Sleep Better

Curious about how breathing can help you lower stress and improve sleep? This 5-week introductory course offers a taste of powerful techniques to calm your body, balance your nervous system, and reduce cortisol—your body’s primary stress hormone.

Each week, we’ll explore the science behind nasal breathing and how it supports better sleep, stress relief, and resilience. You’ll learn not just how to breathe but why it works—gaining practical tools you can easily integrate into daily life for greater relaxation, focus, and balance.

Details: Course Journey:
In today’s fast-paced world, our nervous systems are often stuck in overdrive, leading to chronic stress, anxiety, and a host of related challenges. This course is your guide to breaking that cycle. Through a combination of gentle movement and targeted breathing techniques, you'll initiate a profound reset of your nervous system, shifting from a state of constant alert to one of rest, repair, and renewal.

Deep Dive into Nervous System Health:

  • Vagus Nerve Activation: Explore how gentle somatic movements, Buteyko breathing, and coherent breathing techniques stimulate the vagus nerve—key to the parasympathetic nervous system. This activation promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports overall well-being.

  • Oxygen Delivery: Learn how efficient breathing techniques, combined with mindful movement, optimise oxygen delivery to the body's cells. Buteyko breathing improves carbon dioxide tolerance, enhancing oxygen release from the blood to where it’s needed most. This process supports cellular function, mental clarity, and emotional calm.

  • Heart Rate Variability Improvement: Understand the importance of heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of your nervous system's resilience. Through guided breathing and movement practices, you'll enhance your HRV, promoting balance and a healthier stress response.

  • Neuroplasticity Through Movement and Breathing: Discover how combining breathwork with gentle movements reshapes your brain’s response to stress, improving emotional regulation and fostering a peaceful state of mind.

  • Stress Response Management: Learn how to restore balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems through diaphragmatic breathing and restorative movements, reducing the effects of chronic stress on your body and mind.

  • Diaphragmatic Activation: Core to the course is activating the diaphragm through intentional breathing and movement. This approach enhances respiratory efficiency, calms the mind, and supports better oxygenation throughout your body.

Course Highlights:

  • Interactive Online Sessions: Participate in live sessions featuring guided movement and breathing exercises, interactive Q&A, and community support via Zoom.

  • Personalised Instruction: Receive tailored feedback to ensure the techniques align with your unique needs, enhancing their effectiveness.

  • Science-Based Approach: Understand the science of stress, the autonomic nervous system, and how movement and breathing transform your mind and body.

  • Practical Skills for Life: Develop a toolkit of breathing and movement practices to maintain a calm and balanced state amidst life’s demands.
