what is breathwork?

Breathwork starts with breath awareness, and is a practice that involves deliberate and mindful control of the breath for the purpose of improving overall well-being, quality of experince and divine connectedness. It involves consciously altering one's breathing pattern, intentional inhalation, exhalation and hold patterns to achieve specific outcomes.

There are various types of breathwork practices available; Holotropic, Rebirthing, Pranayama, SOMA, Conscious Connected, Oxygen Advantage, Buteyko Breathing, The Wim Hof Method to name a few.

Why Breathwork?

Boost Your Energy Levels: Functional breathing optimises oxygen flow to your cells, fueling energy production. Experience heightened endurance, faster recovery, and a vitality that radiates from within.

Activate Relaxation and Reduce Stress: Tap into the body's natural relaxation response, lowering stress hormones and promote better sleep. Witness a reduction in anxiety, an improvement in mood, and an overall sense of calm.

Sharpen Your Mental Focus: Long-term breathwork enhances stress management, decreases muscle tension, and sharpens focus. Say goodbye to negative thoughts, fatigue, and hello to a clearer, more resilient mind.

Optimise Athletic Performance: Controlled, rhythmic breathing improves concentration, benefitting athletes in their pursuit of excellence. Elevate your game, enhance stamina, and maximise your physical potential.

Enhances Self-Awareness: allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and fostering a greater sense of inner connectedness with self and all beings or life

Therefore, incorporating conscious breathing into daily routines can be a powerful tool for enhancing overall well-being, optimising sports performance and greater connectedness to life.

It's important to explore and practice these techniques under the guidance of certified practitioners, especially for more advanced breathwork methods.
