We all know that life depends on our ability to breathe. What is not as obvious
is the extent to which the quality of our breathing affects the quality of our
life. Many people live unnecessarily with a restricted ability to breathe. This
may be due to trauma, ongoing pain or simply the adoption of bad habits. This
eight-session program leads the user step-by-step through important aspects of
healthy breathing. Each lesson artfully combines imagination, breath and movement
to create the basis for fuller and more comfortable breathing.
The way we breathe is normally something that happens outside of our conscious
control. Using Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons,
one finds that it is possible to let go of habits that interfere with full
breathing and instill new, healthier habits. Breath and movement are intertwined;
people using this program report not only expanded breathing ability but also
increased flexibility. The lessons proceed gently, and each person can learn
at their own pace. Focus on Breathing can be a great support for anyone recovering
from surgery, dealing with pain or looking to increase their overall health
and vitality.
