When I say breathwork, what comes to mind?

Many of you will think of yoga, meditation, or something a bit silly. I’m sure most of you don’t think it can help your children, and I get it!

But did you know that good breathwork can have real, physical benefits on our nervous system, our brain, and our body? In other words, it’s not just some hippy dippy nonsense, and I’m going to explain why.

This means when our kids are stressed, scared, overwhelmed or anxious, good breathing can be the difference maker in a situation that usually gets out of control very quickly.

In this bucket emptying episode, I want to dispel any stigma you might have around breathwork. I’m going to tell you exactly how & why it helps, and give you some practical, actionable exercises you can start doing right now.
