1. TAKE A BREATH
The growing emphasis on breath and the importance of mindful breathing exercises is making its way into the treatment room. Client seeking complete relaxation and rejuvenation this summer will benefit from guided breathing exercises that can be incorporated into every massage, facial and body treatment on your menu. Here are a few easy techniques you can walk your client through on their way to blissful relaxation:
• THE 4-7-8 METHOD
This breathing technique is named after the number of counts per breath in each step of the technique. Instruct your clients to breathe in deeply through their nose for four counts. Ask them to hold that breathe for seven counts, and then release by breathing out through their mouth for eight counts. The extended breathing allows for more air to reach the depths of the lungs, providing deeper oxygenation and reduce tension.
