Training Tip from Health and Breathing Class – Depth of Breathing
You can make your breath penetrate very deep into the body. This can bring amazing results in terms of health, reduction of tension and physical fitness level. There are 3 ways to achieve this deep breath penetration.

1. By paying special attention to the final stages of inhale and exhale parts of the breath cycle.
2. Through the drills of breath holding.
3. By way of breathing in challenging body positions, such as gradual stretch matched to inhale and exhale.

This will be covered in the Health and Breathing classes as well as during the SYSTEMA ESCAPES AND WEAPONS COURSE.
Remember, when we are doing breathing exercises, breathing is primary. The effects of breathing are more important than the effects of physical movements and the muscular efforts.
In order to accommodate our Systema practitioners work and travel schedules, we have made a minor adjustment to the class times.
The Health and Breathing Classes at Systema Headquarters take place on

• Tuesdays 9:45 am to 10:45 am
• Wednesdays 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm
