What is Take A Breather?
Take a Breather is an initiative I have developed.
It is simply a way of breathing that once learned, can be applied to many
areas of life.
I have successfully taught it to people of all ages;- 4 years to 84 years old
Through my research I have discovered ‘breathing’ is a crucial element in learning ability, confidence, creativity and health and wellbeing.
Being aware of your breathing pattern also helps you to understand what is driving your thoughts, the way you feel, how you behave, and the choices that you make.
Many people breathe in a way that makes them more likely to experience difficulty concentrating and learning, behave in disempowering ways, prone to stress, anxiety, and negative thinking patterns.
Breathing in a way that empowers you to be ‘at your best’, be in a receptive learning state, that promotes health, wellbeing and constructive thinking patterns, is easily taught and is the foundation of the Take A Breather program.

The numerous positive benefits of the Take A Breather Program can categorized into 3 key areas;-
Hence the acronym, SHH.
- Improves concentration and ability to focus
- Allows a person to be in a receptive learning state;- makes learning easier
- Activates the neo cortex of the brain enabling access to creativity and problem-solving ability
- Improves academic performance and is a key to overcoming learning difficulties
- Reduces anxiety related to learning and performance
- Improves a person’s ability to make conscious choices;- to respond rather than react
- Promotes a ‘growth’ mind-set, rather than a ‘fixed’ mind-set
- Reduces stress and anxiety and has a positive impact on stress-related illnesses
- ·Supports the body’s ability to heal naturally
- Engages the Parasympathetic Nervous System; the rest and restore nervous system, which helps to digest the stress hormones. Stress hormones lead to cellular inflammation which is the root cause of all degenerative disease. (Christine Northup MD)
- In order to operate efficiently, our brain, nervous system, heart and circulatory system and all of the organs of the body need an abundant supply of oxygen. Every cell in your body is dependent on oxygen;- without oxygen cells begin to die. Restricted breathing can reduce the efficiency of the functions of the body. If a cell is receiving just enough oxygen to survive but not enough to thrive, it’s function declines markedly.
- Improves sports performance and also aids recovery time.
- Aids in the production of ‘feel good’ chemicals such as serotonin
- Allows positive emotions;-peace, love, joy, appreciation, compassion, gratitude to surface
- Allows a person to see things from a different perspective… seeing things from a different perspective changes the way you think, feel, and respond
- Helps to ‘bring out the best in us’ and improves self-esteem
- Promotes resilience and the ability to ‘bounce back’ faster from challenges
- Allows access to more positive, constructive, and empowering thought patterns
