You may well breathe through your nose, take gulps of air, snore at night.  Breathing exercises can help to retrain your breathing.

What can changing my breathing help with?

Breathing better can influence your health in all sorts of ways.  It is particularly effective for people with anxiety, menopause symptoms, asthma, sleep apnoea and snoring.  You should of course always consult your GP if you are concerned about your health.

Better breathing can alleviate many symptoms.  It works well in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.  As it is non-invasive, it can complement any medical procedures or drugs you may be taking.

Breathing better will enable to more easily access the benefits of both meditation and mindfulness.
