Becoming conscious of our unconscious breathing habits is the point at which we can turn the tide and use our breath to move us forwards rather than hold us back.

Your breath is your superpower. But is the way you're breathing holding you back? When we are not breathing optimally, it can affect our health, our sleep quality and our ability to perform at our best. We guide you how to improve your daytime and night time breathing. The result? More energy, bette...

I always find it intriguing that Menopause seemingly has more of an impact in the so-called 'developed' nations than in the parts of the world that have retained a more natural way of life. Some of these countries don't even have a word for it!

Among the many contributing factors is our breathing. Wherever life is more stressful, breathing is often challenged. It's one of the reasons relating to the 200% increase in sleep apnea in women at the time of Menopause! But natural breathing patterns can be restored.

What if this stage in life could be a trigger to realign ourselves with that which supports us, rather than thwarts us? Our food, movement, social connections, sunshine, and our breathing. All of these work on our multiple body systems (including the mind). Let Menopause be a turning point to embrace a way of living that eases us away from the 24/4 madness that doesn't suit any human physiology. 🙏

Why not let your breathing become your superpower!

Breathing is so automatic that you possibly rarely pay attention to it, other than when you're out of breath.

But, just like 60-80% of the population, it could be that you're breathing just a little too hard or too fast for your body's needs.

When this is constant, day and night, it can make a huge difference to how you feel and perform.

Common symptoms of chronic over-breathing are dizziness or light headedness, waking up still feeling tired, an anxious or agitated mind, an inability to concentrate, and not being able to take a satisfying breath

The really good news is that it's possible to you retrain your breathing. By becoming more aware of your habitual breathing and regularly practicing a range of conscious breathing techniques, you have the potential to change everything you thought you knew about your body, your performance, and your health!

If you think this may apply to you, message us or email us at henryandhenryeurope@gmail.com to arrange a free Discovery Call so that we can discuss whether our Breathing Re-Education program is suitable for you.

The image captures a young child reading, a picture of innocence and total concentration.

Did you know that some time between the age of 5 and 6, children begin to breathe differently from how they were breathing during their infancy?

Where once they would breathe naturally, using their diaphragm, children eventually adopt dysfunctional breathing habits, bracing their abdominal muscles, sucking in their tummy, imitating their superheros, parents. It's their growing awareness of the world, leading them to conform to what they perceive as the norm.

We take these new-found habits into our adulthood, they become our new default, so that we are continually holding tension in our breathing muscles, compromising our movement, flexibility, and preventing proper oxygenation of our body.

Once we are aware of this, we can do something about it. We can retrain and strengthen our breathing muscles by retraining our breathing and improving our posture. Our body and mind will thank us for it.

Can breathing impact negatively on a woman's experience of PMS?
💥Yes, it can. If breathing is sub-optimal, it can make the symptoms worse ... or even cause them!

Might breathing play a role in sleep apnea?
💥Yes, most definitely. Women, in particular, need to know that their likelihood of experiencing sleep apnea increases by 200% at the time of menopause and why it might not be picked up on a sleep study.

Female breathing was the emphasis of this presentation last Tuesday. Would this be relevant for a group you're involved with? In your workplace? If you think it might be, get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
