Regulated Conscious Breathing in Singing helps you,
- Reduce stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol and slowing heart rate.
- Improve physical health by reducing blood pressure, maintaining a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and reducing inflammation.
- Manage breathlessness using techniques such as pursed-lips breathing, ensuring more efficient air circulation in the lungs.
: Controlled singing breathing is the conscious, intentional management of your breath rate, depth, and rhythm that directs your body and mind.
Unlike involuntary spontaneous breathing, it involves purposely slowing down your breath to trigger a "rest and digest" state via the activated parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve.
When the body is relaxed, safe, or at rest, the rest and digest state—which is the physiological condition controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS)— takes over.
Common techniques include diaphragmatic(belly) breathing, box breathing, coherent breathing, and the 4-7-8 method.
Singing and Piano lessons are offered in Nanoose Bay, serving Parksville, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, and Ladysmith areas in BC.
