Breathwork
Regular breathwork- consistency is key
A small, daily practice can have a powerful impact over time. It doesn’t need to take long—but consistency is key.
In a school environment, breathing plays an important role in how children:
- Regulate their emotions
- Focus and engage in learning
- Respond to stress and challenges
- Support their overall physical wellbeing
Many children develop unhelpful breathing patterns—often without anyone realising—especially in busy, stimulating, or high-pressure environments.
Introducing simple, age-appropriate breathing techniques in schools can help children to:
- Feel calmer and more settled in the classroom
- Improve concentration and readiness to learn
- Manage big emotions and reduce overwhelm
- Build resilience and self-awareness
This can be delivered in a way that suits your setting:
- Whole class sessions to introduce and practise simple techniques together
- Small group work for more targeted support
- 1:1 sessions to explore individual breathing patterns and provide personalised strategies
Through these sessions, children learn to understand their own breathing habits and how to use their breath as a practical tool to support their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Breathing is something every child already has access to. With the right guidance and regular practice, it can become a simple, effective tool to support both learning and wellbeing across the school day and their life in general.
Your respiratory rate can be measured in three steps:
- Set a timer for 1 minute
- Sit or lie down to get yourself in a state of rest. Avoid strenuous activity beforehand
- Start the timer and measure the amount of breaths taken in 1 minute. This can be done by counting how many times your chest rises.
