Respiration:
Focused Breath Awareness Training

Spaceballs was a spoof… right?

Here’s a quick test. Get into a bear position (hands and feet on the ground, hips up). Walk forward slowly. While you move, breathe in through your nose for a count of two and out through your nose for a count of eight. Keep it quiet. Keep it calm. No chest heaving, no mouth breathing, no gasping.

Do three rounds.

If that third round felt exactly like the first, your breath is already working for you. For most people, it falls apart somewhere in round two. The exhale gets ragged, the nose breathing breaks, and the body tenses up to compensate.

That gap between your breathing at rest and your breathing under movement is where performance leaks out. Respiration closes it.

Better Breath Control Means Better Training. Period.

Respiration is also available as part of the Regulator bundle.

Over the past few years, breathwork has become extremely popular. Weekend certifications, flashy marketing, claims about rewiring your DNA. It reminds us of some old jokes about selling air.

We made Respiration to skip all of that and give you a repeatable practice that actually changes how you breathe during training and daily life. No mysticism. No hype. Just structured sessions built on decades of experience from martial arts, yoga, diving, and coaching thousands of clients.

The progression is deliberate: first you build the skill at rest, then you test it under movement, then it becomes part of how you operate. Breath training only helps if it becomes a habit. Respiration is designed to get you there.

We built Respiration inside Praxis, our custom training platform, for flexibility and convenience:

• 34 training sessions you can repeat as often as you like.
• 5, 10, and 15-minute options to best fit your schedule.
• All your scheduling, timekeeping, and tracking are built in.
• Detailed instruction and exercise tutorials you can review anytime.

When to Use Respiration

Respiration is the lowest-commitment program we offer. Five minutes is a real session. That’s on purpose: the biggest barrier to breath training is remembering to do it, and a 5-minute floor means you’re out of excuses.

Here’s how clients actually use it:

Rest day practice. On days when you don’t train but want to do something, a 5 or 10-minute Respiration session keeps you connected to your practice without adding physical load. Several clients use it this way as their default rest-day activity.

Work breaks. Respiration sessions work at your desk, in a conference room, or anywhere you can sit or stand for a few minutes. One client described doing sessions on-site during the workday and noted that nobody looks twice at someone breathing calmly while seated. The sessions with floor-based positions, he saves for home days.

Before bed or after hard training. The down-regulation patterns in Respiration help shift your nervous system from high-alert to recovery mode. Clients who use it in the evening report better sleep. Clients who use it after intense sessions report coming down faster.

When everything else feels like too much. Stress, fatigue, illness, overwhelm. Respiration is the program clients reach for when their body or mind isn’t up for anything else, and it consistently delivers a reset.

“Respiration has been a great tool when I’m too overwhelmed or stressed to do anything else. It helps tremendously!”
— Jenn H., GMB Client

“Respiration is great for taking short breaks away from work in the morning. Can even do on-site. Apart from the sessions with breathing on the floor, it is perfectly normal to breathe while seated or walking about. Everyone does it. Just not always with the same purpose.”
— JP S., GMB Client

“Respiration is what I use on my rest day. I need to do something short and easy and this is it.”
— Katja H., GMB Client

Five minutes of focused breathing practice changes more than five years of knowing you should breathe better.
