The Power of Your Breath

Most of you know that I teach monthly Wellness Workshops in my Grove Health Coaching Membership. My workshops are different each month and cover various aspects of health - from resistance training and fascia to stress management and detox. In each workshop I teach in-depth details but simple ways of how to best steward that particular aspect of health.

Every workshop is very different. And every workshop has different, simple action points that I encourage Grove Members to work on so that they can help further their health in attainable ways.

BUT...would you be surprised that in EVERY workshop, when I get to the part of sharing what Members can do to better steward that particular part of their health...there's always a common factor and common piece of encouragement!

Can you guess what that might be? What ONE action step is threaded through EVERY workshop I teach?!

→ It's breathing. ←

I bet you guessed this because of the title of my blog post - BUT - I bet you wouldn't have guess it would be connected to EVERY aspect of your health!

Let me explain...

WHAT CAN BREATHING NOT DO!??!

One Problem Though 

There's one caveat though - these things are ONLY true if you are PROPERLY breathing!

Because breathing can also be a detriment to all these things if you are not breathing well!

How do you know if you are breathing correctly? How do you know if your breath is giving you all of those benefits? ↑↑↑ Are you utilizing the power of your breathing for your workouts and just for normal daily life?

I Got You!

There are a billion ways you can breathe - but if you aren't using the Pilates breath - you will not experience all of the above benefits. You will sometimes even see the opposite side effects or end results.

I want EVERYONE to know and understand the Pilates breath. I always tell clients in their very first session with me that the most important thing they could learn for a SOLID FOUNDATION to their workouts and health is breathing!

So...I am offering you my free Breathing Session so that you can see how something completely free, very easy, simple, and quick can make a HUGE IMPACT on your health.

"Breathing is the first act of life and the last. Our very life depends on it. Since we cannot live without breathing it is tragically deplorable to contemplate the millions and millions who have never mastered the art of correct breathing."
