Breath Spa for Kids
Long ago, in a Latin class, my teacher introduced me to an early TLA, the spa, or sanitas per aqua. There is a lot of research that highlights the presence of dysfunctional breathing in children with a variety of physical, emotional or behavioural conditions. I'm interested in whether breathing retraining would help children or whether the disordered breathing is only an epiphenomenon. A breath spa for children: spiritus per anima or sanare per anima.
