The CHP seminar programme

For employees of TU Braunschweig

Did you know that there is such a thing as ‘incorrect breathing’? We often breathe too much, too quickly, too strenuously and through our mouths – both in everyday life, under stress and at night. This unhealthy way of breathing increases physical stress and has negative effects on our health. But it is possible to relearn healthy breathing. With just a few minutes of daily practice, you can significantly improve your health, balance and energy levels. This event shows why it is worth focusing on your own breathing and combines theoretical knowledge about healthy breathing with practical breathing exercises.

Key topics:

Healthy breathing – what is it?
Effects of healthy breathing
Balance of oxygen and CO2 in the body
Mouth breathing vs. nose breathing
Practical breathing exercises

Please note: This is an online event. Therefore, a microphone/headset is required to participate.

Led by: Wolfgang Block (certified breathing coach)
