Breathwork or breathing exercises involve intentionally changing your breathing pattern to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Breathwork has many emotional and physical benefits which include higher concentration and focus, lower stress and anxiety, increased energy and clarity, deeper relaxation and improved respiratory functions.
There are many types of breathwork techniques which include but are not limited to Anilom Vilom, Box Breathing, Straw Breathing, Brahmari and Ujjayi Breathing. There are guided practices to all these types of breathing techniques on our website.
Breathing exercises can be practiced daily for optimal benefits. Starting with a few minutes each day and gradually increasing the duration can help incorporate them into your routine.
Yes, breathing exercises can help reduce anxiety. Techniques like alternate nostril breathing and diaphramatic breathing activate the body's relaxation response, helping to calm the mind and reduce stress levels.
While most breathwork techniques are safe for healthy individuals, some risks include dizziness, hyperventilation, or discomfort if done incorrectly or excessively. It's important to start slowly, listen to your body, and consult a healthcare provider if you have any pre-existing conditions or concerns.
