“Listen. Are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?” ~ Mary Oliver
THE MIRACLE OF OUR BREATH
Breathing is like walking- entirely important AND so dang easy to take for granted. It may be hard to believe but how we breathe dictates the very quality of our existence. Quite literally, how we are breathing is how we are living.
Although we’re mostly unaware of it, we breathe in and out about 25,000 times a day. And many of us are doing it wrong. This is the conclusion journalist James Nestor came to after talking to breathing experts and enthusiasts around the world—and he was doing it wrong, too.
Pilates instructor, Tina Sprinkle, read Nestor’s book, Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art, a few years ago which began a deep dive for her into the science and technique of breathing.
“It’s been a journey,” Tina said. “From taping my mouth shut at night to learning to hold my breath longer than I’d imagined possible, this book piqued my curiosity, triggering a journey to learn about the power of breath.
Since then I’ve studied neurodynamic breathwork and Pranayama yoga techniques to ground my nervous system, modulate my emotional states, and improve my sleep. Breathwork is changing my life!”
Besides the very obvious benefit of staying alive, breathing correctly supports our health in a myriad of important ways:
1) Lowers feelings of stress
The biggest benefit of practicing deep breathing exercises is its ability to lower feelings of stress. Other stress-relieving techniques like meditation, yoga, and mindfulness use deep breathing as the main strategy to achieve calmness and relaxation.
2) Improves mood
It’s challenging to be in a good mood when you’re stressed and anxious. Studies show that deep breathing can help improve your mood.
3) Activates your lymphatic system
Your lymphatic system circulates a clear fluid called lymph, which benefits your immune system, maintains your body fluid levels, removes cellular waste, and absorbs fats from your digestive system.
Deep breathing is one strategy for treating lymphedema, which is a buildup of fluid when the lymphatic system is blocked or damaged.
4) Improves cardiovascular endurance
Your lungs have elasticity to them, allowing you to take deep breaths. Deep breathing helps maintain elasticity in the lungs.
It also improves your awareness and ability to control your breath, which is helpful during exercise when oxygen needs are increased.
5) Helps to lower blood pressure
As mentioned earlier, exercise helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system and reduce blood pressure. While deep breathing is beneficial if you have high blood pressure, it’s not a substitute for high blood pressure medications if you’re already on them, so don’t stop taking your medications in exchange for deep breathing.
If you’re interested in learning practical breathwork techniques to improve your mood, health, and focus, consider joining Tina, for the FREE to BREATHE Workshop on Saturday, October 14th between 1:00 and 3:00 pm.

10-DAY SUGAR RESET STARTS OCTOBER 17, 2021 26 Sep 2021 11:03 AM (3 years ago)
If you’re struggling with fatigue, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, belly fat, lackluster skin, and bothersome sugar cravings, it’s time to reset your metabolic engine!
Join Tina Sprinkle for her 10-day Blood Sugar Reset, October 17-27, 2021 with a kick-off workshop on Sunday, October 17th @ 12 pm
Show your body a little respect, and your body will reward you with greater focus, stability, and metabolic health.
It’s not about willpower- it’s about biochemistry.
BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE IS ABOUT MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS!
What do excess belly fat, blood sugar imbalance and serious diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes have in common? Poor regulation of insulin, a hormone secreted by your pancreas, is the critical connection.
Insulin gets secreted in response to the elevation of your blood sugar. Insulin is absolutely necessary to get the sugar out of your blood and into the cells where it can be converted to energy. Without insulin, your blood sugar would skyrocket and you’d become diabetic.
But insulin may also be released in response to stress.
The relationship between cortisol (a stress hormone secreted by your adrenal glands) and insulin is circular. Increased cortisol raises blood sugar which causes an increase in insulin which in turn causes cortisol to go up.
When we are chronically stressed, our cortisol levels remain high which keeps our insulin levels high. This interrupts the normal function of insulin in response to the food we eat.

Under normal circumstances, after a meal, the increased glucose in your blood causes your pancreas to secrete insulin.
The more glucose in your food, the more insulin is produced.
Insulin binds to the cell membranes and triggers the cell membrane to open up and let the glucose in.
Insulin allows glucose, amino acids, fats, magnesium, and other nutrients into the cell where they can be used in the mitochondria to produce energy. When this is in balance we feel centered energetic, focused, and lean.
It’s when our blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol are out of balance we experience issues.
When you eat foods high in carbohydrates or eat your meals too close together (ie. snacking) it stimulates a rapid rise in glucose and in response, insulin.
When insulin is chronically high, you are in a constant state of inhibited fat-burning, low growth hormone, and lower metabolic rate. The end result is belly fat that is very hard to lose.
Excess insulin can also cause your blood sugar to get too low, leading to brain fog, irritability, and ravenous cravings due to blood sugar instability.
Chronically high blood sugar and insulin levels lead to insulin resistance. This is when the insulin receptors on your cells tire of the constant insulin stimulation and shut down.
Less insulin in the cell and more insulin in the bloodstream is a recipe for weight gain, diabetes, and a host of other diseases.
WHEN YOUR CELLS BECOME INSULIN RESISTANT, THREE THINGS HAPPEN
- Insulin can’t keep up with the demand and your blood sugar starts to rise, leading to diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
- Insulin triggers fat storage around the middle so your belly grows steadily.
- Unbalanced blood sugar is stressful to your body causing increased levels of cortisol and insulin, sugar cravings, and unstable.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
TAKE THIS FREE SUGAR QUIZ
TO EXAMINE YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH SUGAR.
WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
The first thing to address is your sugar consumption. This may sound simple but it’s actually a little harder to kick the habit than you might imagine.
That’s because sugar is hidden in all kinds of foods marketed to you as “healthy.” Processed foods, condiments, sauces, and fruit juices are often packed with excess sugar.
So the first step is educating yourself about what you’re eating and then taking the steps to eliminate them for a few days to help reset your blood sugar and metabolic hormones.
The good news is you can do this in a relatively short time. You can impact your blood sugar and hormone balance in as little as five to ten days!
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DECREASE BELLY FAT, FATIGUE, BRAIN FOG, MOOD SWINGS, AND MEMORY LOSS.
In this program you’ll learn:
- That hunger, cravings, constant snacking, emotional eating, and binge-eating are all connected to a metabolic imbalance that can be reversed… so you can experience emotional stability and freedom from food.
- How to eat to melt away belly fat without feeling deprived or living on bacon grease.
- How to lower your blood sugar even if you are a pre-diabetic or diabetic.
- How to improve your blood chemistry and energy levels by balancing the queen of all hormones, insulin.
- Learn what to eat to balance your blood sugar and reset your insulin receptors so you can improve your memory, energy, and focus.
