Breathwork is a way of intentionally changing your breathing pattern to influence your mental, physical and emotional state.

It works directly with your nervous system and acts on it to help you feel calmer, reduce anxiety, achieve better sleep, better sport results, improve focus and cognitive performance.

It regulates you from inside out.

Some of the scientifically proven effects of breathwork include:
- reduced anxiety symptoms
- lower cortisol
- easing physical tension and racing thoughts
- building resilience
- reduction of emotional reactivity
- quicker recovery after stressful events
- reduction of emotional overwhelm
- improved focus
- improved cognitive performance
- improved concentration
- better cardiovascular health, including increased HRV
- better and faster recovery following exercise
- better sleep
- increased self-awareness
- clearer sense of choice on how we respond to life events
- feeling more connected to self and others

And this is to name just a few.

Even 5 minutes a day of intentional breathing can have an enormous impact on how you feel.

The trick?

You do need to practice it.

And after a week, two, three, you will slowly start noticing the change in how you see the world, how your body reacts to stress and that you have developed a better awareness of yourself and the sensations in your body.

If you want to know more, DM me or come to one of my breathwork sessions where we explore different techniques that support the nervous system and where you are going to learn how to down- and up- regulate.

Warmly,

Let's be honest.

Many of us do not pay attention to the way we breathe.

It's an automatic function.

But automatic does not mean that we do it the way it was intended to be done.

And most of the time, we are overbreathing.

A lot of us breathe too much upper chest, too fast, too full, sigh and yawn a lot, which leads to taking too much air in.

And yes, it all matters, and yes, it all adds up.

If you are feeling anxious, are chronically fatigues, feeling that you haven't slept well, are bloated, have poor digestion, feel like you can't catch a proper breath, have lower back pain (!), then overbreathing amplifies these feelings and symptoms.

And because you are experiencing the above, you overbrathe, as it's the natural's body response to stress factors.

A vicious circle.

The good news is that it is fixable.

Reduction of sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) and some breathwork exercises (tailored to you) can work miracles.

Would you like to try?

Comment BREATH and I will send you a list of tips on where to start.

Upcoming breathwork sessions ✨

Happy to announce that I am going to start offering my sessions at in the Glasgow City Centre!

In April, I invite you to two types of sessions:
✨ breathe to stillness - where we are going to explore the space that the moment between each inhale an exhale gives us.
It’s a perfect session for when you are feeling tired, want to relax after a long day at work or simply explore breathwork and tap into a new experience.

✨conscious connected breathwork - a session that invites you dive beyond the thoughts. A chance to safely explore the state of you how it is now, of being present with what is and learning how to observe.

Does this sound like something you want to try?

Book in bio or send me a DM 🙏🏻

Hope to see you there!

I went for a 35 minute run yesterday.

I had no distance or pace in mind, instead I wanted to try and breathe ONLY through my nose. 👃

Stupidly, I did not measure my BOLT score before the run but after the run I can tell you that it was 2-3 points higher than my usual baseline.

The point of the exercise was to see how my body reacts to increased CO2 during low intensity workout.

I did:
- start to feel increased air hunger (need to breathe more) after the first kilometre
- had to slow down and walk a number of times to get my breathing back under control (while maintaining nose breathing)
- notice that my pace was almost 2 minutes slower than usual but that’s to be expected

What are the expected long term effects of such practice?
- better oxygen uptake by tissues and organs
- improved cardiovascular efficiency
- improved endurance
- decreased fatigue and better/quicker recovery

Please note that this exercise it not suitable for everyone and it depends on your BOLT score and general fitness.

If you are struggling to breathe and/or have other symptoms of dysfunctional breathing, then you may benefit from a different set of exercises that are suited to your needs.

Want to know more?

DM me.

✨your feedback✨

It means so much to me that the sessions give you what you need and that you come back to practice with me 🙏🏻

Thank you!

There is still a chance to grab a spot for Thursday’s class and explore the space in-between breaths and thoughts.

day 7 - return

*may feature adventitious sounds made by my baba*

And we have arrived on day 7.
We are returning, hopefully a little more rested than when we started on day 1.

Today, we are simply going to follow our natural breath, give ourselves some space to explore how it feels to feel the breath.

The breath - our anchor every single day.

I hope you enjoyed practicing with me and if you did I invite you to join me for a longer, in-person, practice on Friday, 30th of January at the Wellbeing Hub.
During the session, we are going to gently flow into a state of deep rest and explore our surroundings beyond the thinking mind.

See you there 🙏🏻✨

day 6 - activate

Today, we are going to move through a box breathing exercise.

It’s a great tool to have in your tool box, as it’s quite versatile.
This technique can:
✨ create a steady focused state as it balances between sympathetic (the activating) and parasympathetic (the rest and digest) nervous system
✨ increase oxygen and CO2 regulation, which may improve mental clarity
✨ enhance concentration
✨ reduce stress response.

Thank you for breathing with me!
I’ll see you tomorrow for our last day 🙏🏻✨

*although all practices in the 7-day journey are deemed to be safe for everyone, please stop the exercise or return to your normal breath if you feel uncomfortable, tight-chested, dizzy or something is off. You know your body best and let yourself be guided by its wisdom ✨

day 5 - restore

👋🏻 it’s day 5 - we are almost there

Today, we restore balance between two sides of our body with single nostril breathing.
Each nostril has a different potential and I’ll get into it on another occasion. Today, just trust the process and enjoy the journey.

Single nostril breathing:
✨(left) activates the parasympathetic nervous system
✨ can cool down the body and calm the mind
✨(right) activates the sympathetic nervous system
✨ energises the body
✨ increases alertness

See you tomorrow for day 6 🙏🏻

day 4 - release

Hello Day 4!
We’re sighing things out today during this short and sweet practice.

Some of you might know this breath (physiological sigh) from the Huberman Lab, it:
✨ reduces CO2 by reinflating alveoli (tiny tiny air sacs in the lungs), which helps to get rid of excess carbon dioxide buildup (it happens during a stress response!)
✨ calms the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic rest and digest system, slowing the heart rate and lowering the blood pressure
✨brings body back to a more regulated state.

See you tomorrow for Day 5 🙏🏻
Keep it up ✨

day 3 - soften

We’ve arrived on day 3 ✨
Today, I invite you to look for all the places that might need a little bit of love and softening.

Three-part breath:
✨ encourages a slower breathing rate
✨ makes you feel more connected to your body
✨ can create a sense of grounding through body awareness
✨ helps release tension in the diaphragm and upper body
✨ invites you to be present

Let me know how it went for you in the comments below ⬇️

Thank you for practicing with me,
Ania 🙏🏻

Some people have been asking what CCB is.

It is a breathwork technique that involves circular, continuous breathing pattern.

There is no pause between the inhale and the exhale.

This pattern unlocks physiological and psychological changes in our bodies.
Levels of CO2 drop, blood pH and blood flow change.

There is also a change in our brain wave patterns.

The part of your brain responsible for analysing switches off and amygdala and hippocampus take over.

This is when the magic happens as this process opens the door to the subconscious.

Magic happens with every breath.

Sometimes it can be a very tangible and visceral process.
And sometimes it just is the best way to relax your body and release your mind from any thoughts.

Sounds good?

Im holding a CCB journey this Friday at from 7pm to 9pm.

Only 3 spaces left.
DM me to secure your spot.

Come and see what happens ✨✨
