The World Health Authority (WHO) states that by 2020 states that depression and anxiety will be the worlds number 1 disability. The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) already puts sleep deprivation at an epidemic level. Six out of every 10 women are on medication for mental illness, men are not far behind. Why is this relevant as an introduction to a breathing masterclass? Because poor breathing is the cause and improved breathing is the cure.
In the US the Dept of Defence now teach breathing to PTSD sufferers because after studies with counselling, medication, and numerous other activities is the the thing that has had the biggest and longest lasting effect.
Yes you can use drugs, but who wants the side effects? Nosebleeds, impotence, reliance.

- Anxiety and panic attacks

Breath is the link that connects your mind, body and emotions.
Improved breathing can help you focus yourself on the situation at hand, calm your mind and clear it of noise and fear, your body of pain and tension and your emotions of anxiety and stress, leaving you free to thrive in daily life.

When I teach breathing I don’t have to wait for results. I have found that I don’t have to say do this and you will feel better in a few weeks or months. I can say do this and you will feel better in a few minutes. So few people do even the simplest breathing well. We breathe well enough to survive moment to moment. But it can be so much more than that.
Mikhail Ryabko, the founder of Systema sums it up best:
‘Breathing is the essence of life. The greater the appreciation and the more control you have of it, the better and longer will be the life you have no matter what situation you encounter.’
The seminar is inclusive and well paced. There will be active participation, but it is at your own pace. You can of course chose to watch activities if you wish.
Places will be limited.
