Linda M is a chest/shoulder/ vertical breather , so part of our training is to train the diaphragm-which is a muscle just like your glutes-to become stronger and more efficient. If Linda keeps up w the shoulder /upper chest breathing , she will maintain a stressed out state physically and physiologically. This will keep her blood pressure, heart rate and brain fog elevated while lowering O2 delivery to her muscles (as well as increasing the chances for acid reflux, weak core and bad sleep).
If you want to strengthen your diaphragm?
*Put a weight on your lower stomach and nasal inhale and elevate the weight
*Blow up a balloon 5xs /day
*Pursed lip breathing (straw breathing)
*Sportmask - gives the athlete a smaller opening to breathe, making their diaphragm work harder for air)

MMA champion Jiri Pochazka incorporates all of the breath training during training and during competition. Not only does he mouth tape but Jiri does breath holds during intense sparring, nasal breaths as much as possible, and uses multiple different modalities to help him withstand CO2 build-up for longer periods to become the best fighter he can be….

When you add breath holds into your training regimen, you unlock some of the body’s natural strength mechanisms.
*More O2 to muscles , resulting in more power, speed, velocity and endurance
*Increases recovery time - this slows down lactic acid accumulation and speeds up lactic acid metabolism, which gets rid of it quicker
*Improves lung volume
*improves focus and eliminates brain fog
*Improves sleep
Add all of that up and you are competing at a level that gives you the best chance to win against any level of competition. Learn how to turn your breath into a weapon - link in bio

Come out and see how much you can help yourself with your breath…
This class utilizes Conscious-Connected Breathwork to lower the levels of O2 and CO2 in your blood. When that happens, your brain enters an altered state. The altering is that your frontal lobe gets turned off. That’s the voice that tells you “You suck!” Or “You’re too fat” or “You can’t” - and this opens up and elevates your subconscious.
It’s been proven that there is trauma stored in your DNA. This is a way to go in and expunge that stored up trauma you have been carrying around for who-knows-how-long. That’s why people have shifts in only one class.

MEDITATION FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T MEDITATE

Also, you will be breathing along with frantic music with a steady beat- this will keep you in the meditative “now” because you are continually putting your breath to the beat of the music. When you start thinking of the outside world and stress, problems etc - you will get your breathing away from the beat, but it’s easy to jump right back into harmony with the music and your breath because the beat will always be there.

Straight from DR A.I. Knowmorethanyou - when you hold your breath for a short period of time - 5,10 seconds - CO2 stays in your blood, which has a dilation effect on all of your blood vessels as it opens them all up a little, allowing your heart to work easier. It also sends blood to the brain, erasing fog and improving focus and attention….

Working on strengthening up Jacob W’s golf game with golf specific exercises with mouth tape on.
By elevating your heart rate with your mouth taped forces you to breathe nasally , which will help your energy and stress levels when you are in competition. This trains you to breathe slower under physical and mental duress, which helps keep muscular endurance high and stress levels low when it counts. That’s EXACTLY where you want to be when you are a competitive athlete…..

Pushing the envelope with sprintin’ and sledgehammerin’ with mouth tape on with Evan & Noah De Leon Body in Motion.

*Less breathing means more CO2 in your blood. This means more O2 will be delivered to your muscles.
*You breathe 22% less when you breathe nasally instead of orally.

So when you elevate your heart rate ( in this case, with sledgehammers and sprints), you are training your body to adapt and maintain nasal breathing as long as possible. If you want to maintain an elite level of performance, keep as much CO2 in your blood as you can…

Here’s the link for tickets to next week’s event in West Allis! So yourself a favor and experience how much you can gain mentally, physically, and spiritually - in only 1 hour…..

Breathletics: From Chaos to Calm

Join guest instructor Michael Kolander for an evening of breath work/meditation on Wednesday September 24th from 7:00-8:15 pm at Healium Hot Yoga-West Allis.

Breathletics has been called “meditation for those who can’t meditate” — expect beat-forward loud music, listening with your eyes covered and your mind open. For 30 minutes, you will be performing a breath technique that involves deep double inhales with a single exhale thru the mouth that is put to the beat of the music helping to take away your “conscious” and elevate your “subconscious.”

Please keep in mind that the class is done at your own pace, and one that you are comfortable with. You are encouraged to slow down or stop the breathwork it you feel dizzy or too uncomfortable to continue. Once you feel like you can continue, please rejoin the breathwork when you can. If you want to discontinue the breath work all together, simply breathe in through your nose at a controlled pace and wait for the connected breathwork session to finish. Also consider bringing along items for your comfort like blankets, bolsters or pillows and clothing items for layering.

⭐️Please check the event page on our website for important information about contraindications and cautions to determine if this event is right for you!

The Breathletics Athletic Breathwork program is designed to help athletes improve their performance in their specific sport. Breathwork isn’t “one size fits all”, as different sports require different energy systems and muscular utilization. By understanding how breath manipulation can be used to improve VO2 max, speed, power, velocity and recovery, you can keep your athletic performance at an elite level. Among the benefits of manipulating your breath for your sport:
*You can delay lactic acid build-up, giving your muscles more energy for longer periods, as well as metabolize lactic acid and remove it more efficiently.
*Maintain laser focus during stressful moments during competition.
*Lowers blood pressure, heart rate & stress hormones
*Increase lung volume
*Better sleep
*Improved swing velocity (Golf, Baseball, Hockey)
*Improved concussion recovery
