Healthy breathing exercises that we know and practice today originate from Eastern breathing and movement schools such as yoga, tai chi and qi gong. In respiratory therapy or respiratory gymnastics, the human being is viewed as a holistic being, which means that the physical, psychological and social perspectives are considered important by a breathing trainer.

The breath seems to be controlled automatically by the brain. However, experiences, thoughts and feelings can have an effect on this automatism. Lack of exercise, stress and poor posture impair regular and deep breathing, which can lead to individual organs or body regions not being supplied with enough oxygen and carbon dioxide only being removed to a limited extent. This in turn can be the cause of headaches, tiredness or tension.

One of the most important goals of breathing training with a breathing trainer is to consciously perceive breathing. This has a positive effect on respiratory function and leads to a denser oxygen supply and relaxation. It is important to breathe deeply into the abdomen through conscious breathing. You can train yourself to breathe into your belly within a very short time with regular exercises.
