The Way You Breathe Changes Everything
You Breathe Over 20,000 Times a Day…But have you ever been taught how to breathe?
Hold your breath for just a moment, and suddenly nothing feels more important than your next breath. That's because every breath influences your body—from your heart rate and blood pressure to your brain, hormones, nervous system, energy, and emotional wellbeing.
Learn how to use your breath to transform the way you feel, think, and live.
Transform how you feel— one breath at a time.
Build a simple, consistent breathwork practice that fits into your daily life and helps you feel calmer, think more clearly, and respond to stress with greater ease. With guided techniques designed for lasting change, you'll strengthen your mind–body connection, improve your wellbeing, and develop the tools to regulate your energy, focus, and emotions—anytime you need them.
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.
Breath work apps
You can find many free apps designed specifically for breathwork and pranayama, but I tend to use either a clip-on digital metronome or the Soundbrenner app on my phone. This way I always have the tools with me where ever I go.
Unlike standard timers that simply signal the beginning or end of a breath cycle, metronomes provide a continuous rhythm that helps guide the pace of your breathing. From a self-regulation perspective, this steady rhythm also acts as an anchor, helping your mind and body prepare smoothly for each transition in the breath.
