6 Week Functional Breathing training, Brighton and Hove
Breathing is the foundation of resilience
Train your breathing to support steadier regulation, deeper sleep, and better performance in life and exercise.
About Functional Breathing Training
How we breathe is often the quickest reflection of the stress we are under. Under sustained stress, breathing often becomes faster, shallower, and more effortful, which can keep you in an activated state beyond stress and reduce recovery. Over time, this becomes your new breathing habit.
Training functional breathing is one of the fastest ways to reset your breathing patterns and positively influence your physical and psychological state.
This programme progressively retrains breathing: establishing a more functional baseline first, then integrating it into real-life work, sleep, stress, and movement.
Who It’s For
This programme is ideal if you are:
Stress reactive and want a practical way to influence your state
Struggling to switch off , sleep or recharge properly
Have a shallow chest-led breathing pattern
Want an easily accessible regulation skill you can use anywhere
Want to improve your breathing quality during exercise
This programme is for you if stress is affecting your breathing, sleep, tension, focus, or energy, and you want a structured plan to improve your breathing patterns.
Who It Won’t Benefit
This programme is not suitable if you are:
Severe sleep apnoea or breathing difficulties
Unable to commit to doing the home practice
Unable to commit to 6 x consecutive weekly sessions
Looking for quick fixes
* Because the training builds week by week, it’s important that you can commit to the home practice. As you learn new breathing patterns, you may occasionally notice mild discomfort.
What You'll Gain
By the end of six weeks, people commonly notice :
- calmer baseline and faster downshift after stress
- improved sleep wind-down and depth
- steadier energy and fewer stress spikes
- less tight breathing and upper-body tension
- better composure and clarity under pressure
Most importantly, you will have a helpful tool for life.

Testimonials
This was very informative. Nicola was very helpful in expanding the course to fit my stress history and in shaping the exercises to suit my daily life. I can recommend this course to anyone looking to train the breathing basics
I knew my breathing was shallow, but I didn’t realise all the science behind it and why I had found it hard to change. I feel armed with the right knowledge now. Thank you for your guidance.
