Use Breathing to Upregulate and Downregulate | An Expert Explains How

Описание: The ability to calm ourselves in the face of a stressful situation is a tool that can benefit us for the rest of our lives.

When we learn to downregulate we are learning to engage our parasympathetic nervous system. When we engage our parasympathetic nervous system we are learning to engage our ‘rest and digest’ response.

The parasympathetic nervous system is intrinsically linked to relaxation and calmness and by learning functional breathing techniques like Oxygen Advantage®, we can bring ourselves out of a stressful situation.

Similarly, the sympathetic nervous system, which is intrinsically linked to our ‘fight or flight’ response, is very useful to be able to engage if we want to amp ourselves up and get ready for a potentially stressful situation like sporting competition.

Join OA founder and Director of Education and Training, Patrick McKeown as he explains how with simple breathing exercises we can quickly upregulate or downregulate and either prepare ourselves for high level competition or make ourselves return to a calm and centred state.
