“Breathwork” has emerged as a popular strategy for improving our relationship with stress. Drawing from the latest research, this interactive, two-part presentation will explore the connection between breathing and emotion and highlight the safest and most effective breathing practices for stress optimization.

A two-part series where attendees will learn how to assess their own breathing habits and how to enhance their health and performance through mindful breathing practices.

Matthew Dewar, Ed.D., is a professional educator, speaker, and author. For fifteen years, he has researched the impact of mindfulness and emotion regulation practices on teaching, learning, and leadership in schools. More recently, he has focused on enhancing health and performance through breathing behavior analysis and heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training.

Dr. Dewar is also the founder of Matt Dewar, LLC, and the creator of the Stress Better® Framework, which he has shared with collegiate and professional athletes, Fortune 500 executives, colleges and universities, first responders, and military personnel. Dr. Dewar authored Education and Well-Being: An Ontological Inquiry, The Mindful Breathing Workbook for Teens, and Breathing in Balance (forthcoming). His work has been featured on TEDx, NPR, Thrive Global, the National Wellness Institute, and many podcasts.
