Today, we have a very special guest joining us. Rita Savoia. She is a true believer in the power of self-healing and the body's innate intelligence. She's here to share her expertise on how we can become our own health heroes and live vibrant lives as we age. She is a heart-centered practitioner who is passionate about organizing health talks, workshops, and retreats that promote healing, emotional release, and spiritual renewal on a local and international scale.  And just a few days ago, she led an Elemental Breathwork Workshop for the Healthier Tech Community.

And so we wanted to invite her onto the show to discuss the experience.   In this episode you will hear:  Amplifying your breathwork with intention.  How Rita's breathwork sessions can be so powerful.  Moving your body to receive experiences.  How often you should practice different types of breathwork.  Benefits of elemental breathwork (and paying more attention to your day to day breath).  Why carbon dioxide is more important to oxygenating our cells than people realize.  What makes your breathing dysfunctional.  Activating our parasympathetic nervous system to increase health benefits of functional breathing.      Rita Savoia is a Certified Nutritionist, Functional Breathing Coach, Yoga Instructor, Workplace Wellbeing Consultant, Speaker, and Mental Health & Longevity Advocate.   Rita is convinced that by removing the interference and allowing your body's innate intelligence to self-heal, you can become your own health hero, live your highest vibrating life and thrive as you age.   Rita founded Savoia Self-Care Holistic Wellness and created the 6 Pillars of Self-Care aimed at resetting back to the basics, because getting healthy doesn't have to be so complicated. The pillars are based on the holistic integration of the heart, mind and body that bridge the gap between our emotions, thoughts, and physical body.   She is a heart-centered practitioner and passionate about organizing local and international health talks, well-being workshops, and destination retreats on various self-care activities that promote healing, emotional release, and spiritual renewal.   Check out the Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Workshop: https://www.healthiertech.co/elemental-breath-workshop/    Episode Reference:  Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M.
