Breath Walks
Take a step.
Inhale.
Stride Again.
Exhale.
Why is a breath walk relaxing?
Connecting your strides with your breath can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system - the rest and digest arm of the nervous system. When walking and bringing awareness to your breath, it has also been shown to decrease blood pressure and lead to better sleep.
Breath Walks’ Insights
-
I finally get it!
The combination of being outside and simply bringing awareness to the breath with an activity a client does every day helped her feel comfortable, at ease, and ready to make her practice a lifetime gig.
-
Same Place. New Insight.
An attendee witnessed shifts in the plants that she works with everyday during a breath walk, leading her to ask questions about what next year’s planting would entail.
-
Reinvigorated for the season
An ambler came up after the walk to detail how the walk had provided him with an hour where we didn’t overthink the past or worry about the future. He felt ready for the season and more grounded in his body.
Each breath walk is a sensory experience, combining the simple forces of striding and conscious breathing, to foster presence and reduce stress levels.
