Breathe Better Bitesize: short videos for tips and support

Checking in on your breathing

We all have our own unique breathing pattern, and this video gives a brief overview of a simple technique to understand what your breathing pattern is. Sometimes, some aspects of how we breathe don't serve us well, but getting to know how you breathe is the first step to feeling better.

Rectangular breathing

 Rectangular breathing is a technique which can help you feel more in control of your breathing, and in this video I talk you through the practice. It's helpful to have practiced checking in on your breathing, so if you haven't watched that video yet, please do. 

Hand held fan

 In hot weather, we might reach for a fan to cool our faces, but did you know this can be a helpful tool to use to aid breathlessness? It can be helpful at any time of the year and in this video I explain why. 

Breathing through a hot flush

  Women in mid-life experiencing hormonal change will be familiar with the dreaded hot flush. We all experience them differently but a simple breathing technique could help you cope with a hot flush better - and even lessen the intensity of it.
