Breathwork & Longevity Workshop
Most of us live with a nervous system stuck in low-grade alarm — wired-but-tired, restless sleep, tight chest, scattered focus. This workshop teaches you how to consciously shift that. Two hours on Vagus Nerve stimulation: the breath patterns and physiological levers that activate your body's natural off-switch for stress. Pranayama from yoga's older tradition, paired with the science of what each technique does to your heart rate, your gut, and your sleep — taught in plain language, with options at every step. You leave with a 5–10 minute protocol you can drop into your day.
What We'll Do
01
Why your nervous system holds the answer
We start with a clear, beginner-friendly look at the physiology: what the Vagus Nerve actually does, why so many of us live stuck in fight-or-flight, and what longevity research says about chronic stress.
02
The practice
Guided breathwork through several techniques — settling breaths, then more activating patterns, then deeper Vagus Nerve work. Options at every stage so you choose your intensity.
03
Grounding and your take-home plan
We close with grounding, Q&A, and a personal 5–10 minute daily protocol. You leave with something you can keep, not just remember.

Calmer in your body, steadier in your head
Less spiraling thought, more inner space
Lighter digestion as you shift into rest-and-digest

A 5–10 minute daily routine you can actually keep
