The Science of Breathing
80% of us suffer from dysfunctional breathing
Most of us are breathing incorrectly. If you’re able to tackle your to-do list while breathing incorrectly, imagine what you could accomplish if you knew how to breathe correctly.
Just because we can breathe automatically doesn’t mean we’re doing it right.
Because we breathe automatically, we don’t understand when we might be doing it wrong and what harm it’s causing.
With breathwork, we can become more efficient with our breathing and improve blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and increase oxygenation. All of this leads to:
- Improved Sleep
- Increased Energy
- Reduce Stress
- Better Cognitive Functions
What’s in this course?
Each unit is made of two video courses. In the first, Elsa explains the theory and science behind a fundamental aspect of breathwork, and defines how it can affect your physical and mental health. In the second video, she demonstrates how to perform a technique relevant to the theory and goal.

Most of us breathe incorrectly without even knowing it.
And since we average about 23,000 breaths per day, improper breathing can be outright harmful to both our mental and physical health.
