What does Adrienne Rivera teach about the connection between breath and self-regulation?

Adrienne teaches that your breath is one of the most direct ways to regulate your nervous system and, through that, your emotions, focus, and overall state of being.

She shares both downregulating (calming) and upregulating (activating) breathwork. Practices like box breathing help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calm your system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and increase emotional resilience and focus.

Through her Nervous System Breathwork Regulation Course, she guides people to use different styles of breath—circular connected breath, pranayama, nasal and mouth breathing—to consciously shift their state, release emotional stress, and feel more present and embodied.

Is there a specific challenge (stress, sleep, focus, emotional triggers) you want help regulating with breathwork?
