What you will learn

All sensory functions in our body are governed by nerves, the autonomous nervous system. All thoughts and perceptions are also governed by nerves, the central nervous system. Breathing is an inherent function that links the autonomous with the central nervous systems and equilibrates not only our mental state but also the function of the heart. Stress hijacks our system and creates disbalance. It uses a lot of energy in detriment of functions such as digestion and immunity and maintains the body in a hyperarousal state where it is difficult to relax and enjoy a fully recovering sleep.

• Identify the impact of stress in your daily life, the stressors, and the symptoms.
• Learn ways to counterbalance stress and adopt a balanced schedule.
• Explore breathing patterns that balance immediately both physical and mental states.
