Breathwork training (25HR)
Join Marcel in this Breathwork training! This training will give you a solid understanding of our breath, its mechanism, the anatomy of the respiratory system, the importance of proper breathing and the science behind it. You will also learn to teach this matter to others.
Topics
Breathwork
Breathwork is a mix of traditional (pranayama) and modern breathing exercises. The impact of the exercises is felt immediately – they have a biochemical, biomechanical and psychological influence on body and mind. Breathwork promotes sleep, emotional well-being, immunity, focus, performance and physical balance. Some also have a profoundly spiritual experience during breathwork. It includes a toolbox of breathing exercises that you can do anywhere, anytime in the event of stress, anxiety, or when a mental shift or performance enhancement is needed.
Topics
Metacognition
Poor breathing, which is at the root of many physical and mental health problems, is usually a learned pattern. Metacognition techniques are an important tool in breaking the pattern of incorrect breathing. Scientifically, there is a direct link between breathing and our attention span. Metacognition is the ability to consciously observe, regulate and adjust cognitive processes (thoughts, emotions, feelings). Becoming aware of functional and dysfunctional patterns helps us to tap into our full potential and to be more successful in life. Conscious breathing and meditation are important metacognitive exercises used in Breathwork to bio-hack the autonomic nervous system such that chronic stress disappears over time. This boosts physical and mental health and immunity and promotes a long, happy and healthy life.
Topics
Respiratory fitness
In Breathwork, you will learn specific exercises to relax and strengthen the breathing muscles. This will eventually allow you to breathe efficiently and functionally, both at rest and during exercise. Strengthening and stretching the primary respiratory and postural muscles helps to increase sports performance and to address back problems.
