Completing stress cycles in the body

Role in the Odyssey
Breathwork and somatic practices are used to help the body complete stress responses that have been interrupted by performance demands, injury, or chronic pressure.

How it works
Stress is not resolved cognitively alone. These practices engage the body directly, allowing tension, emotion, and energy to move through and resolve naturally, restoring vagal tone and nervous-system balance.

Why they matter for elite performance

• Improved stress resilience
• Emotional steadiness under pressure
• Greater interoceptive awareness
• A grounded, present state

Rather than “working on issues,” participants often experience a simple sense of relief and completion.
