Breathing 101

$45.00

Saturday September 12, 2026

10am-11am

Most of us are either holding our breath or breathing into the stomach, exacerbating conditions like pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis, and anxiety. We live in a world that activates the sympathetic “fight or flight” response. Sleep issues, asthma, stress, and hormone fluctuations are all acutely affected by our nervous system. Why is this important?

Diaphragmatic Breathing and introduction to Hypopressive Breathing will improve Pelvic Floor function and activate the “rest and digest” response in the body, also known as the Parasympathetic  Nervous System. Improving breathing and offering simple-to-follow breathing cues and techniques will, at the very least, support better body awareness, regulate your breathing and lower your stress.

What you will get:

  • Enjoy beautiful views, tea and experiential movement led by a Movement Analyst and Pilates Teacher Trainer with over 25 years of experience.

  • Learn the connection between the brain and body and how regulating your breath is integral to managing stress and anxiety.

  • Introduction and review of the autonomic nervous system, the distinction between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

  • Feel your breath and how your breath is linked to your nervous system.

  • Learn what “the core” is, how to avoid doming the stomach (sometimes referred to as diastasis) when engaging the abdominals.

  • Introduction to Hypopressives and “false breathe” your way to a stronger pelvic floor and improve pelvic floor function.

  • Learn how to use simple props to activate the pelvic floor and deeper breathing.

  • Understand the benefits of nervous system regulation and how to support an overly active mind.

  • Experience clarity on what good breathing looks and feels like.

  • Experience a shift in your breathing, improved circulation and core activation, body awareness, energy and mental clarity.
