Breathwork For Business
Our Corporate Program has been created for business and their employees and designed to focus career-oriented individuals, leadership teams, owners, founders, partners or management of micro, small and growing businesses. who want to be successful and healthy; both physically, mentally and spiritually.
Why Corporate Breathwork
Tested and proven by elite performers such as UFC fighters and Navy seals, Breathwork is now being used in organisations across the globe to enhance the emotional and mental wellbeing and cognitive performance of their people. Today, over 40% of all sick leaves are stress or fatigue related, one of the reasons is the difficulty to create a healthy work-life balance.
In a recent study, 50% of employees stated that their mental health has deteriorated in the past year and 82% stated that their mental health has impacted on their work. We need to think differently now. We need to provide our employees with tool kits to help them self-regulate and reduce the impact of workplace stress on their mental health. Breathwork is a perfect tool to add to this kit.
Breathwork can be used as a tool for modern companies and leaders to help employees and provide ways to reduce stress and create positive shifts, which will affect company productivity.
Breathwork, also known as Conscious Breathing, is not only the most powerful bio hack, but also the foundation of self-awareness and mind-body connection.
The condition of our breath mirrors the state of our inner world. When we are stressed or irritated our breath becomes short, unsteady and sometimes we even hold our breath. When our breath flows smoothly and calmly so does our view of life.
Breathwork is an effective tool to release stress and anxiety, reduce the risk of burnout, boost performance and increase productivity and enhance creativity.
Breathwork enables us to actively change our physiology and rebalance our nervous system, and it has the backing of science and physical research behind the result of breathing.
Breathworks’ many advantages will also give you a creative edge over the competition because once you release your stress, you have more energy and room for creativity which leads to clearer thinking and sharper focus. It’s a shortcut to working smarter.
The physical research is in; it lowers blood pressure, improves focus and concentration, strengthens your immune system, there are less sick days and better work days. We all have emotional baggage and it affects every aspect of our lives.
Breathwork Improves
Decision Making Abilities
Research examined the effects of 2 minutes of deep breathing before performing a 30-minute business challenging decision-making task with multiple choice answers. Stress levels were self-reported before and after the task. The control group did not perform the breathwork and the experimental group did.
While controls reported elevations in stress levels, those in the experimental group did not. Importantly, participants in the experimental group provided a significantly higher percentage of correct answers than controls (50% greater).

Working With Us
In person Corporate Workshop
To facilitate the in person workshop we will need a room big enough to allow for all participants to lay on the floor comfortably with space at the side to stand with an arm’s reach distance. If that is not possible – we will help you with a suiting location.
Each participant will require their own yoga mat or blanket.
Before the breathing begins we will guide you through the process and explain the physical, emotional and even spiritual elements of our program.
We will lecture on anatomy, physiology, neurology of breathing so the participants understand the proven medical science behind Breathwork practices.
Comfortable clothes that allow for free movement are recommended, Eye masks are optional but highly suggested as it is easier to tune out distractions.
The most important thing to bring is an open mind and the willingness to show up and breathe.
This can be a really powerful and profound experience, with or without prior experience, and the class is created with that in mind.
