If you or someone close to you struggles with anxiety, stress or depression then you know it can be all-consuming to the point of panic. One often overlooked method for calming, treating and managing symptoms is breathwork.
In today’s episode we talk about Resonance Frequency Breathing with Adrian Cox, of BreathYoga. RFP is a simple, science-based method of measured breathing. Using gentle, slow and circular breaths to gain body-mind balance, resonance breathing stimulates a relaxation response that creates harmony between the breath, heart, blood pressure and nervous system. The result is a state of resonance that contributes to feelings of calm and well-being.
Tune in to explore the science behind breathwork, and don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your health and wellbeing!
