What is breathwork?

Breathwork involves various exercises and techniques that help you become more aware of your breath —
your inhale and exhale.

By adjusting the rate and depth of your breathing, these exercises create positive changes
in both your mind and body.

When practiced regularly, breathwork can significantly boost your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, leading to remarkable improvements in your overall health.

Curated by School Breathe, and delivered in a fun and engaging way, kids can learn essential skills for emotional regulation, better sleep, boost their fitness and have more capacity for learning.

“My breath coaching with Emerald was instructive and inspiring. She is a fountain of empathy, creativity and wisdom. I have been a client of many different types of somatic practitioners over the years, and I would put Emerald alongside the best of them. I will continue to benefit from what she has taught me for years to come.”
