What is Breathing Re-Training?

Breathing is the essence of life itself. From the moment we're born to our last breath, it sustains us. Yet, how often do we truly pay attention to it? Our daily lives are filled with 25,000 breath cycles, yet many of us neglect this fundamental aspect of our existence.

Breathing, though automatic, can become inefficient over time. This inefficiency can lead to a myriad of physical and mental health issues, affecting everything from circulation and digestion to sleep and stress levels. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

The Impact of Inefficient Breathing

Inefficient breathing isn't just a matter of inconvenience; it can profoundly impact various aspects of our lives, contributing to conditions such as:

  • Breathlessness, reduced exercise capacity

  • Snoring, sleep apnea, or insomnia

  • Chronic respiratory conditions like asthma or bronchitis

  • Anxiety, stress, or panic disorders

  • Reduced exercise capacity

  • PMS

  • Menopause

Testimonial

I have been working with Ash of O2.4.U for months now and have enjoyed numerous benefits of her Science based approach to optimising health using breathwork and other means. All of the methods that we work on are practical, simple and easy to implement. It never feels like 'another thing to do'  - rather a more mindful, effective way of doing what we all do all day (and night) long. It is fantastic to learn so much and empowering to know that there are multiple tools at my fingertips - or nostrils! 

Most recently, Ash spent time preparing my racing partner and I for an endurance event. Her fantastic range of techniques for regulation, increased focus, greater endurance and  improved performance were all greatly appreciated on race day! I have loved tapping into Ash's beautiful energy, great expertise and constant encouragement so far. - Sharon
