Breathing training - the path to deeper relaxation

In respiratory gymnastics - also known as breathing training - the human being is viewed as a holistic being, i.e. from a physical, psychological and social perspective. Breathing training has its origins in Far Eastern movement and breathing practices such as Qi Gong, Tai Chi and yoga.

Breathing training is used, for example, when it has been established that deep breathing has been almost completely forgotten or is difficult. Experiences, stress or lack of exercise also lead to shallow or uneven breathing. Superficial breathing leads to a lack of oxygen in individual organs or body parts, which in turn can be a cause of severe headaches, extreme tiredness or tension. In respiratory gymnastics, deeper relaxation is achieved through various movement exercises. We also relearn and consolidate abdominal breathing - our natural way of breathing.

Would you like to learn more about breathing training? Are you looking for courses in your region? Would you like to become a respiratory gymnastics coach? Here on the Swiss education portal you will find many schools in the health sector that offer good courses in respiratory therapy or respiratory training.

We are committed to holistic, resource-oriented and Swiss-recognized training and further education. Breath therapy is one of the oldest complementary therapeutic methods. The physical, mental and spiritual powers inherent in the human being are strengthened through the attentive perception of the unconscious breathing pattern to the experienced own breathing process and the development of the breathing power.
The central stimulation of the processes of consciousness through breathing influences the awareness of sensation and the emotional life. The process-centered modular course offers you a comprehensive basis for applying what you have experienced and learned after completion.

The platform Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch surveyed people interested in respiratory therapy. The results of the survey showed that 82% of school inquiries were triggered by online reviews. 15 % enquired about schools recommended to them for more details on further training as a respiratory therapist. 3 % already knew the school they were interested in attending beforehand. However, the online presence of schools is also becoming increasingly important, as shown by answers that survey participants optionally used: "Because I came across these training centers through a Google search", "found via Google search", "Internet", "interesting homepage", "I did some research and came across it", "start date is suitable", "I listen to my gut feeling", "spontaneously", "saw on SRF1" and "I want to check the offers". Many schools improve their online visibility by listing themselves on our platform. Other answers show the importance of location: "your school is near me" and "because it is close to where I live". Someone gave the following reason: "Because the school has decades of experience and was the first school to be recognized.".
