According to the polyvagal theory by Stephen Porges, Ph.D., breathing is both a reflection of and an efficient gateway into, your current physiological state. Through deliberate and skillful breathing awareness and techniques, you will learn to manage, manipulate, and ultimately master your own nervous system for optimal health, growth, resilience, and performance.

What will you learn in this course?

This class provides you with experiential practice and a simplified summary of tons of research related to topics such as breathwork, polyvagal theory, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, heart rate variability, baroreceptor efficiency, and chemosensitivity to carbon dioxide.

This is an evidence-based approach where you will learn, understand and implement the 3 key components of proper breathing, including biomechanics, biochemistry, and cadence for maximizing the vagal regulation of your heart and anchoring your nervous system in the ventral vagal complex of your parasympathetic nervous system.

Who should take this course?

This course is appropriate for anyone interested in improving their overall health, resilience, longevity, performance, and quality of work, relationships and life, through the portal of breathing combined with leading-edge science, specifically related to polyvagal theory.
