"I recently attended a 6 week outdoor workshop on Breathwalk,
which combines walking and meditating. I found it to be very informative while taking in the glorious colors of the fall season. I will continue using the various breathing techniques while walking and hiking."
Access Your Nervous System
Tap into Healing
Breathwalk participants have experienced relief with the following issues:
| Anxiety | Stress | Hypertension |
| Depression | Impulsiveness | Emotional trauma |
| Back pain | Obesity | Weak immune system |
| Fatigue | Moodiness | Poor circulation |
| Travel stress | Inflexibility | Addictive impulses |
| Feeling overwhelmed | Low Stamina | Reduced potency |
It may seem a little amazing that something as simple as walking and breathing can be so profound, yet as fast as the world and technology around you is changing - regulating how your body and mind handles these changes depends on how well your nervous system and glandular system can adapt to those changes. Scientists have shown proper breathing gives you control of your nervous system to elevate your mood, create relaxation and shield you from many effects of stress and aid in pain control.
