Are you
looking for ways to help optimise the health and wellbeing of your team?
More and more businesses are seeing the value in prioritising employee health and well-being. Companies that prioritise the health and happiness of their employees can improve employee retention, revenue, and productivity. Therefore, investing in corporate wellness can positively influence both your business and the lives of your employees.
Breathing well is fundamental to optimising our health, well-being and enhancing our performance.
We are a team of physiotherapists who specialise in helping people learn to breathe well. Breathing Works offers private workshops to educate members of an organisation about everything breathing related and what 'breathing well' looks like.
Many people do not realise that the way that we breathe can affect our stress levels, sleep, digestion, mood, athletic performance and cognitive function. Therefore, learning more about the seemingly simple act of breathing, can help people function at an optimised level. What this looks like in the work place are employees who better manage their stress, work more productively and overall contribute positively to a happy team environment.
What does a 'breathing workshop' involve?
After an initial discussion, we will develop a workshop that contains content that is relevant to your workplace and industry. We are keen to learn what your goals are and what you hope to gain from the workshop in order to tailor the content accordingly.
We aim to provide the group with knowledge, improved self-awareness and practical tools to help enhance breathing patterns, and consequently overall well-being and performance.
Workshop content ideas include:
- Why breathing? What are the benefits of breathing well?
- How do I know if I am breathing well or not? Practical tips for self-assessment.
- Basic anatomy and biomechanics of optimal vs. dysfunctional breathing pattern.
- The biochemistry of breathing – what happens when our breathing changes?
- How stress and fatigue affect our breathing and vice versa.
- The negative impact of chronic stress and the loss of balance within our autonomic nervous system.
- How can we harness breathing as a tool? Practical breathing exercises for both ‘in the moment’ and how to improve your overall wellbeing with practice.
Investment:
The cost of our workshops will depend on a number of factors including; duration of the workshop, location (any travel required) and the size of your group. Upon initial discussions, we will be able to provide further costing details once we have understood your requirements.
It is also possible to offer online education sessions for organisations based out of Auckland.
