What is Breathwork?
Breathwork refers to any type of breathing pattern or technique in which you are exerting conscious control. In breathwork, you manipulate or change your breathing pattern to have a desired effect on the body, mind and/or energetic state. Breathwork encompasses various techniques that incorporate the intentional use of the breath, some that are more calming and regulating to your system and others that are activating and enhancing to your system.
Why do Breathwork?
Breathwork is a tool for major transformation and healing, and the best part is that it is natural and always available to you!
Things are constantly overloading our sensory nervous system throughout the day without us even knowing. Stress then activates our sympathetic nervous system and our autonomic responses of fight or flight.
Breathwork drops you into the parasympathetic nervous system and relieves mental, physical, and/or emotional tension.
How often should I do Breathwork?
There are a variety of breathwork techniques you can try and we suggest incorporating these into your daily practices. For more intense breathwork (holotropic or longer sessions) we suggest only one per week.
