Breathwork in coaching

We all breathe and do so all day long. Often unconsciously, while breathing can be a powerful tool to bring space, calm and clarity. When used consciously it increases (body) awareness, calms the nervous system, lowers stress hormones and promotes mental clarity and emotional balance. Breathwork in coaching helps to release tension, reveal patterns and move from thinking to feeling, bringing you closer to the core of a coach’s question.

During this workshop you will learn how to use the breath as an input in coaching. You will gain insight into the theory behind breathing and experience simple exercises that you can immediately apply with your coachees. In the afternoon you will step into a full breath session yourself, so you can also personally experience what breath work can open up and set in motion.

What will you learn

• The role of breathing in regulating tension and emotions
• Practical breathing exercises to do with coachees
• Using breath as an entrance to (body) awareness and transformation
• Experiencing for yourself how a full breath session works and works through

What makes this workshop valuable for transformational coaches?

• Simple, powerful tool: breath is instantaneous and works immediately
• Provides a bridge between thinking and feeling
• Your own experience as a foundation: you are more secure in your role if you have already lived through some breathwork yourself
• Further development of yourself as a professional.
