#54 Inner Armor CORE - Program Launch

Listen to the recording from the Inner Armor CORE program webinar with Dr. Timothy Royer, Amy Royer and John Wierenga to ​hear more about Inner Armor's latest breathing program, Inner Armor CORE.

 

Why Inner Armor?

• Trusted by dozens of collegiate and professional coaches and teams
• Proven success with hundreds of athletes and students
• Deep understanding of automatic nervous system regulation

Learn how we've distilled 30 years of human performance expertise into an advanced and effective mobile biofeedback-guided breathing program backed by science and proven by results.

 

Breathing research has consistently shown that slow diaphragmatic breathing can reduce anxiety and stress while improving critical recovery metrics like sleep quality and cardiovascular fitness. Recent studies have revealed something even more powerful: coherent resonant breathing is the most effective pattern for balancing the autonomic nervous system, building resilience, and optimizing performance. 

 

Our comprehensive 6-month program teaches you to master your breathing with just 5-10 minutes of daily biofeedback exercises. You will learn conscious breathing patterns that allow for regulation of the autonomic nervous system to: 

• Improve focus 
• Aid in recovery
• Manage anxiety and emotions
• Optimize performance  

Here, we target the foundation of performance - your breath. By developing this fundamental skill, you'll achieve greater control over your nervous system to unlock your full potential. 

 

Tune in to listen to the owners of Inner Armor and Royer Neuroscience explain the training and science behind Inner Armor CORE. Take the first step toward forging your inner armor!

#52 Learning, Adapting, Growing

Doc Royer says, "One of the greatest things is how well we can adapt and learn to function in different environments under different stressors. I wouldn't do my job if I didn't believe that people could learn and change and that the human brain and body are amazing, even in the worst situation. That it can learn new pathways can learn new responses. It can learn to be at its best in pressure situations.  Change and learning are at our core, and that's how we exist; as we grow, it comes from that."
