Ready to unlock your potential, manage anxiety/stress, and improve your focus?

In this illuminating episode of the Being the Best Version of Yourself podcast , Dr. Carey Heller sits down with integrative breathwork practitioner Heidi Tacktill to explore the transformative power of breathwork for both adults and children.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What Breathwork Really Is: Understanding the three main types of breathwork: acute, daily, and therapeutic.

• Breathwork for Focus and ADHD: Simple techniques, like the "breath of fire," that can help you or your children improve focus and get ready for the day.

• The Science of Regulation: How breathing directly impacts the nervous system to move you into a calm, "rest and digest" state, essential for learning and emotional balance.

• Navigating Executive Functioning Challenges: Heidi shares a powerful, simple starting point—bringing awareness to the breath to bring yourself back to the present moment and into your body. She also illustrates a great visual activity to do during a meditation activity for people who struggle with staying focused.

• Parenting and Co-Regulation: Why working on your own nervous system first is the most crucial step in helping your children achieve calm and regulation, especially when dealing with anxiety.

• Easy Ways to Get Started: Practical tips for incorporating breathwork into your daily routine—it doesn't have to be just sitting meditation; movement, music, and writing can also be mindful practices.

• Therapeutic Breathwork: How circular breathing can help release deeply stored emotional patterns and trauma from the body.
