Who Is John Brookfield?
Renowned for his innovation of the Battling Ropes system, John spent decades helping professional athletes and everyday individuals. His approach to training is more than physical strength but also about building resilience, mental clarity, and overall vitality. His latest innovation, Rise + Restore, is a breathwork system designed to optimize the foundational element of life itself: breathing.
"...John is the perfect ambassador and teacher for helping anyone enhance their performance, well-being, and longevity through breathwork. Often ignored by coaches, medical professionals, and fitness gurus – breath work is finally coming into society’s awareness. Breathwork has been a huge part of my development during decades of training as a competitor and champion. But it is almost never talked about at any level beyond the most basic and superficial understanding. We are all greatly blessed to have John help us to enjoy new levels of well-being, longevity, and performance through his understandable and easy strategies in his Rise + Restore breathwork system..." - Philip Pfister, 2006 World’s Strongest Man Champion
Why Breathwork?
The answer is simple: at greenteaHAWAII, we believe that true wellness is holistic. What you put into your body is as important as how you manage stress, focus your mind, and harness your inner energy. Proper breathing techniques are a cornerstone of this philosophy, offering benefits that can profoundly improve your quality of life. The practice of breathwork positively impacts both physical and mental health. Let’s explore some of the foundational benefits that Rise + Restore can bring to your daily life.
-
The Benefits of Proper Breathing Foundations
Better Energy for Everyday Life and Athletic Performance Deep, diaphragmatic breathing increases oxygen flow throughout your body, helping to fuel your muscles and organs more efficiently. This enhanced oxygenation can lead to increased stamina and endurance, both in daily activities and athletic pursuits. Rise + Restore teaches you powerful techniques, including helping you access natural energy.
-
Improved Mental Focus and Concentration
When you focus on your breath, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a calm and focused state of mind. This state allows you to concentrate better, think more clearly, and stay present in the moment. A study highlighted on MindBodyGreen explains how breathwork helps balance noradrenaline levels, enhancing cognitive function. With Rise + Restore, you’ll learn techniques that help you harness the power of breath to stay sharp and focused throughout the day. -
Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Relief
One of the most profound benefits of breathwork is its ability to alleviate stress, anxiety, and even symptoms of depression. When you practice controlled breathing, you lower cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for stress—and stimulate the production of endorphins, which naturally elevate your mood. By integrating the Rise + Restore techniques into your routine, you can create a more balanced and peaceful mental state, enhancing your overall quality of life.
-
Boosted Metabolism for Weight Loss
Did you know that the way you breathe can impact your metabolism? Proper breathing techniques can enhance your body’s ability to burn calories more efficiently. Deep breathing increases oxygen levels, which can help to stimulate your metabolism and aid in weight loss. Rise + Restore is designed to help you harness this potential, making your breath an essential tool in your wellness toolkit.
-
Better Quality of Sleep
Sleep is the cornerstone of health, yet many struggle to achieve restful, rejuvenating sleep. Breathwork can be incredibly effective in promoting relaxation and preparing the body for a night of deep, restorative sleep. With Rise + Restore, you’ll learn how to wind down and prepare your body and mind for a night of truly restorative sleep.
-
Reduced Risk of Disease and Injury
Breathwork isn’t just about immediate benefits—it also plays a role in long-term health. Proper breathing can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system, all of which contribute to a lower risk of chronic diseases and injury. By making breathwork a regular practice through Rise + Restore, you’re investing in your long-term health and well-being.
-
Hormonal Balance
Breathing exercises can also help balance hormones, which are critical for maintaining overall health. The rise and fall of cortisol levels, for instance, can be managed through proper breath control, which in turn supports balanced hormone production. Rise + Restore will guide you through techniques that support this balance, promoting optimal health from the inside out.
