Why The Breath?
The way you breathe impacts your body, mind, emotions, and levels of energy. It directly influences your health, we saw it especially in times of covid19. It determines how calm and clear your mind is, how long you might live and how emotionally happy and fulfilled you can feel. All science proven. And not only that, breathing also helps to regulate your blood pressure, hormonal changes, sleeping patterns, digestive process, and it influences how well you communicate with others and how lonely or appreciated you perceive yourself to be.
Breathing can avoid a nasty burnout or cause one. It can determine how fast you rebound during a crisis increasing your resilience and it prepares the brain to perceive new possibilities, make less mistakes when making decisions and have the energy and focus to act with determination on those decisions.
Breathing is the primal pillar of our biology, and if we can improve that pillar, everything that depends on it improves.

“I was constantly feeling anxious, specially before speaking in team meetings. I couldn't sleep the night before a meeting or before a conference. I could pull off the meeting and pretend to be confident of course, but I really didn't enjoy it. More like a nightmare situation. These breathing sequences and mindset work have helped me to calm down and prepare for any speaking situation. It's incredible what you can do by controlling your breath and changing your thoughts.”

"I feel so much more relaxed since I did these sessions with Rakel. Her techniques are so simple and easy to implement. I usually do them in the morning, and also in the car after parking when getting home, and it helps with the transition from office mode, to mother mode. I am such a workaholic...but this classes have really helped."
