Program
We meet daily for 21 mins over 21 days to practice breathing patterns to effect the brain in a positive manner. Some of the breathing patterns you will take back with you are as follows :
- Panting breath to counter Anxious breathing
- Sound breath to calm
- Fire breath to counter aggression
- Relaxing breathing to address tiredness
- Alternate nostril breathing – left brain / right brain synchronisation
- Locking systems to keep breath ( Chin lock, Abdominal lock, Perineum lock)
We know the benefits of physical exercise. And we know that while exercising our breathing rate increases, which improves blood circulation and oxygenation to the brain. In #PlaceboBreath, we create oxygenation to the brain without movement!
“We use a series of breathing exercises to make the brain believe that the body is exercising. Here the placebo is created. In addition, we create a belief that we are healthy and happy and we keep intending that belief into our breathing. Thus using the belief to be guided by the breath.
We create a placebo as the placebo & the power of belief one can impact the brain to create the frequency of exercise.
The placebo effect refers to the impact of a placebo on an individual. The power of the placebo effect is considered to be a psychological phenomenon.
Placebo pills produce about 60-80% of the benefit of the best medications for diseases with subjective symptoms.
Belief can move mountains, belief can help us create our reality
We become what we focus on
Using this analogy we can safely say that performing ‘breathing exercises’ to mimic different ‘emotional responses’ can assist us in managing our emotions and our perception to our thoughts.
The magic of belief | The power of breath
As the breathing patterns are ‘controlled conditions’, it gives us the ability to understand our emotional states.
It is well documented that, emotions effect your breath, so we can safely flip the process and manipulate the breath to effect the emotion.
Putting all of the above data together we can practice breathing patterns and manage the emotion patterns thereby creating the frequency of health and happiness.
We meet live daily for 21 days for 21 mins + 5 mins for Q&A.

The program is conducted over three days. Day 1 starts with repair, where we focus on ‘switching off’, rather than ‘switching on’. We start with a lecture and conversation, opening up the idea of sleep, rest, and collective consciousness, and how that idea can assist us during the program. we move into sleep Yoga, a program where we work at about 30% of our capacity, learning to work with the body at different levels.
Day 2 is the performance where we move up the intensity between 40-50%.
Day 3 moves into the enhancing mode. This is the most exciting part where we try to let the body perform at 80% but the mind is relaxed and calm.
