Change Your Breath, Change Your Emotion!

Did you know that emotions create distinct reactions in your mind and body? And just as each feeling affects you differently, specific breathing techniques can influence your nervous system in unique ways as well.

That’s why we’ve designed a best practice approach to mindful breathing, pairing an emotion with a supportive breathing pattern that restores balance, brings calm, or encourages uplifting feelings.As play is one of the most effective ways for children to learn, our books and resources use a fun game to teach this mindful breathing approach.

The say-and-do game makesit easy to understand when, why, what, and how to use your breath to change the way you feel—anytime, anywhere.With our fun, evidence-based approach to mindful breathing, you and your child will enjoy having a shared strategy for emotional regulation that feels as natural as play.
