Breathing is amazing. The average person breathes 20, 000 times a day, with the equivalent of six litres of air every minute and exhaling up to 420 millilitres of water per day! In fact, 70% of our bodily waste is eliminated through our lungs just by breathing! It's a major mechanism in our bodies- so it's time to learn to harness its power.
This 6- Module course offers you an in-depth understanding on the science and practise of conscious breathing. Whether you are curious for your own practise or whether you wish to incorporate conscious breathing into your teaching, this course has something for everyone.
