About Breathwork
Breathwork has been around for thousands of years, long before we had the medical technology or research studies to show how it works. Breathwork is a sustained, rhythmic breathing pattern that causes changes in our autonomic nervous system, which goes on to make changes in every other facet of our being. It’s a complete holistic health tool.
Breathwork is a somatic, or body-based tool and a “bottom-up” approach to health and wellness. Our breath is our connection between the internal and external world. We can use our breath to get out of our head and into our bodies, bridging our cognitive knowledge with our felt sense of existence. Using the power of our breath we can fully embody the beliefs and wisdom that we know intellectually to be true.
The benefits and applications of breathwork are endless. We can use it as a practical tool to help us relax and get better sleep, to reduce stress and anxiety, to help us cope with behaviour urges, and to help us regulate difficult emotions. We can use it to close stress cycles and release emotions that have been suppressed in our bodies. We can also use it as a potent catalyst to enable us to create positive and lasting change at a subconscious level.
