Thank you health care workers!
As health care workers, you are at the front lines caring for the sick during the COVID-19 pandemic and putting yourself at risk.
This unprecedented situation is putting immense strain on you, your colleagues and our health care system.
You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, even afraid.
At IAHV, we are here to support you.
Our Program
Through our Online Art of Breathing Program, we want to provide you with tools you can quickly put into practice to help sustain you during this time. It is our pleasure that IAHV is now offering this program free of charge to health care workers in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We know your time is very precious. With this online format (3 x 1,5 hours), in the presence of a certified instructor, you will learn a few simple but effective breathing techniques and Sudarshan Kriya™️, or SKY, the cornerstone of our program. You will then have access to videos online to review what you have learned, whenever it suits you.
Independent research from four different continents, published in more than 70 peer-reviewed articles, has shown that SKY and accompanying practices significantly:
- Reduce levels of stress (reduces cortisol – the “stress” hormone)
- Benefit the immune system
- Relieve anxiety & depression (mild, moderate & severe)
- Enhance brain and autonomic nervous system function (increases mental focus, calmness & recovery from stressful stimuli)
- Enhance health, well-being, emotional regulation & peace of mind
- Relieve Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms
- Affect the mind-body system at the molecular level
