As a Physiotherapist she noticed stress and overwhelm in her patients
Using breath as a catalyst for change on your nervous system
Changing Stress flight or fight response into your rest, digest and recover
Get to the green calm zone with Diaphragm breathing
The Diaphram touches the front side and back.
Belly breathing should be the norm. Chest breathing is for intense exercise
Emma starts with calming before strength and stabilizing
Your diaphragm is actually only a one-way muscle.
When you start to train your diaphragm to be stronger on the inhale and allows your body to deal with stress as well
For Calm, Exhale for a longer time E.g. Start with 2 seconds in, 4 seconds out
My personal observations on people with shallow breathing
Yawning, gasping or sighing are indications of a breathing dysfunction
The importance of incorporating breathing outside of a set time of day
My digression on why focusing on getting to the gym does not equate in a healthy life (what are you doing the rest of the day)?
Better habits often require a very conscious effort
Gauge your Calm levels (E.g. 10 is a fantastic vacation, a 1 is fight or flight) and plan accordingly. Is it OK if you feel like a 5?
