Breathwork is the perfect workplace wellness strategy, as it addresses core areas of health, physical, mental and emotional, in a simple, accessible way. With an ever growing body of scientific researchto support the benefits of participating in regular breathwork sessions, employees will feel more relaxed, have more energy, and feel better about themselves, as well as learning skills to manage daily stress. Additional benefits of a balanced nervous system, include improved communication and team building as well as reduced absenteeism.

Everyone suffers from stress, whether it's hidden inside as elevated blood pressure and digestive issues, or whether it's more obvious. The list of symptoms is extensive and many of them people wouldn't actually recognise them as signs of stress; left ignored they can lead to illness and more serious problems. Long term stress results in reduced performance whilst at work and more time off work partly because it reduces our immune system function. Stress limits us in a myriad of ways that impact our daily lives and those we live and work with. Most people are so used to living in a stressed state that it's become the new norm, yet simple breathwork strategies can make a big difference and clients often notice those differences quickly . 

Using breath as the focus, makes it much easier for many people to access the meditative states that support feelings of calm in body and mind.  When we bring in the Conscious Connected Breath (see online offerings below), then breathwork becomes an accelerated meditation programme. The state of "relaxed aliveness" can be reached which is an optimal for work, study and daily life.

Deborah teaches breathwork and supplies support materials, including a recommended app and has created guided audio resources, so that breathwork strategies can be used when needed.  These skills can then be utilised on the way to work, during the work day or on the way home to de-stress.  

Whether staff are in an office sitting at a desk in an office, or working from home, they simply need internet access to attend online group sessions.  The effects are cumulative, so the more these techniques are practiced, the more profound the changes so regular sessions are recommended. Regular sessions encourage and motivate employees to keep up the homework, and to keep building their resilience.

Online sessions are a low cost, low maintenance support to staff wellbeing, that will make a significant impact quickly.
