National Asthma Week (1-7/Sept/2022)
Breath: The new science of a lost art
The simple act of breathing in and breathing out is something that most of us take for granted.
BREATHWORK: It seems a little obvious at first, and maybe you’re even critical that breathwork will help your breathing, however we’re asking you to give it a try and do some of your own research.
Honestly, many years ago, I was very critical of breathwork but it kept reappearing and presenting itself, along with its many benefits.
The simple act of breathing, for those who have asthma, can be very challenging indeed, and can severely limit their everyday activities. As a health and fitness provider, we know, believe and understand that “breathwork” can dramatically improve conditions such as asthma.
National Asthma Awareness week is from the 1st to the 7th of September and during this time we can take a closer look at how this condition affects many Australians.
We are passionate about bodies in motion, for healthy minds and happy hearts (and lungs!!) so when the subject of asthma comes up, we get excited to see how we can help. Most look to asthma as a medical condition which requires drugs, however, we’re asking you to look a little deeper and flick through some of the below information sources.

Did you know that, according to Asthma Australia up to 11% of the population have asthma to some degree. This rate almost doubles when we look at the instances of asthma among our indigenous Australian population.
Wowee… That means that there are 2.7 million Australians suffering silently that we really need to support.
