Breathe Completely for Your Well-Being

Hello - 

Why do I bang on about complete breathing?  Because it relaxes us - but what else does it do and why do we need to practise it? 

We need to practise it because otherwise we breathe in a shallow way.  Complete breathing increases our lung capacity, calms our vagus nerve - all the way through it's long, branching and wandering journey from our brain to face, to ears, mouth, esophagus, lungs, heart, stomach, "gut brain" and rectum. We rid ourselves of Co2 and gases we don't need including 70% of our cortisol.  It's great we produce cortisol in times of survival but holding it in suppresses all too much.  Breathing completely will exhale 70% of it and this is essential for our well-being - reducing stress and pain.  It will balance our mood, metabolism, blood sugar levels, heart rate, blood pressure, and set the scene for our digestive and reproductive systems, growth processes by the way too, and even our immune systems. Ridding ourselves of cortisol will also mean our body doesn't start to produce widespread inflammation. And breathing in deeply enriches our oxygen rich cells. I could go on and on, you know what I'm like - maybe it's best we simply practise deep complete breathing every day?  Come and join me, while I cue us through move after move, you can breathe completely, feel your deep connection and then add the moves.  Breathe Connect Move.
