Regulate & Rise
A school-led wellness system for emotional regulation, calmer classrooms, and stronger school-family connection.
BreathTone™ Regulate & Rise gives elementary and middle schools a simple, repeatable wellness rhythm built around breath, movement, and reset, led by teachers.
Built for Real School Life
Does your school value SEL? Do your teachers need a better way to refocus students during and after transitions?
Students arrive carrying stress, distraction, and big emotions. Teachers are asked to respond with steadiness while protecting learning time and their own energy.
- Calmer starts
- Smoother transitions
- Shared adult language
- Student readiness
- Staff support
- Family connection
Why Regulation Matters
Are teachers asked to manage big emotions without necessary tools and skills? Are mornings, transitions, and post-recess chaos eating into your instructional time?
Regulate & Rise gives teachers and staff a repeatable system, no major resources required, easy to implement, and practical enough to work in real time.
- Transition more smoothly
- Focus attention
- Recover from frustration
- Prepare for learning
- Respond instead of react
- Feel more connected and supported

The School Champion
Sometimes the School Champion isn’t appointed, they emerge. A teacher tries a short reset routine before a transition, the class responds, and instructional time improves. They mention it to a colleague. That colleague tries it. It works there too.
This is how Regulate & Rise tends to spread inside a school, not through a mandate, but through a tool that actually works in real time, requires almost no resources, and is simple enough to use the moment it’s needed. When one trusted adult sees results and shares that experience, it creates something no outside program can manufacture, internal credibility.
As the rhythm grows, each school identifies a Champion who helps keep the program simple, visible, and consistent. BreathTone™ provides the framework, routines, training, and ongoing support, the Champion simply helps make it feel normal, school-owned, and sustainable.
The Champion is typically a counselor, assistant principal, wellness coordinator, or teacher leader, but it may just be the teacher who tried it first.
Built in Community Support
At elementary and middle schools, students regulate better when the adults around them are regulated too. Regulate & Rise gives teachers and staff the same practical breath and body-based tools students are learning so they can settle before responding, reset after difficult moments, and lead classroom regulation routines with genuine confidence.
The skills students build don’t stay at school. The same breathing and reset tools practiced during morning announcements or after recess travel home naturally. As more students in a community share these practices, families begin to experience the benefits without any formal effort required.
Built by BreathTone™ Wellness
Josh Rembusch created BreathTone™ Wellness to help people build steadiness, resilience, and emotional regulation through breath, movement, guided imagery, and consistent practice.
His passion for school-based wellness is rooted in fatherhood, youth coaching, school board service, and firsthand experience seeing how much students and staff need simple tools they can use in real time.
Regulate & Rise brings that work into schools through a practical system that supports students, staff, leaders, and families — one steady routine at a time.
