Breathing training - the path to deeper relaxation

In respiratory gymnastics - also known as breathing training - the human being is viewed as a holistic being, i.e. from a physical, psychological and social perspective. Breathing training has its origins in Far Eastern movement and breathing practices such as Qi Gong, Tai Chi and yoga.

Breathing training is used, for example, when it has been established that deep breathing has been almost completely forgotten or is difficult. Experiences, stress or lack of exercise also lead to shallow or uneven breathing. Superficial breathing leads to a lack of oxygen in individual organs or body parts, which in turn can be a cause of severe headaches, extreme tiredness or tension. In respiratory gymnastics, deeper relaxation is achieved through various movement exercises. We also relearn and consolidate abdominal breathing - our natural way of breathing.

Would you like to learn more about breathing training? Are you looking for courses in your region? Would you like to become a respiratory gymnastics coach? Here on the Swiss education portal you will find many schools in the health sector that offer good courses in respiratory therapy or respiratory training.

We are committed to holistic, resource-oriented and Swiss-recognized training and further education. Breath therapy is one of the oldest complementary therapeutic methods. The physical, mental and spiritual powers inherent in the human being are strengthened through the attentive perception of the unconscious breathing pattern to the experienced own breathing process and the development of the breathing power.
The central stimulation of the processes of consciousness through breathing influences the awareness of sensation and the emotional life. The process-centered modular course offers you a comprehensive basis for applying what you have experienced and learned after completion.
