Join the Round Rock Public Library for a refreshing new Well! Well! Well! series. This spring, we’re diving into the magical power of breath work. Join us on Sunday, May 4th, May 11th, and May 18th from 4:00 to 5:15 p.m. in Meeting Rooms A & B.

Breathing is not just a basic human function—it is the function of life itself. It sustains us, connects our body and mind, and is a powerful tool for improving our health and well-being. Although we breathe unconsciously, many of us do not breathe optimally, which can lead to various physical and mental health issues. Poor oxygenation of the body can lead to fatigue, muscle tension, and weakened immunity. Shallow breathing can increase stress, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. Irregular breathing patterns can exacerbate feelings of anger, frustration, or sadness. Athletes, singers, and public speakers may underperform due to inadequate breath control. At each Breathing Lab session, you will better understand your own breathing patterns, learn what normal breathing looks like, and acquire practical breathing skills to incorporate into your daily life.
