The Power of Breath

"Regulate the breathing, and thereby control the mind" - B.K.S Iyengar

Sometimes the most progress on the journey to transmute pain and promte well-being, happens without saying a word. 

Breathwork is an integral part of this.

 

Breathwork is defined as being a conscious breathing technique that involves intentional manipulation of breath patterns to induce specific physiological and psychological states. It's a practice that has been used for centuries in various cultures all over the world to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.


Modern science is now catching up with this ancient truth, and the benefits of breathwork are documented to be numerous and far-reaching; some of which include: 

​

  • Stress Reduction: By regulating the breath, you can activate the body's relaxation response (para-sympathetic nervous system), reducing stress hormones like cortisol.

​

  • Improved Mental Clarity: Focussed, intentional breathing can enhance concentration, and cognitive function.

​

  • Emotional Release: Breathwork can help release pent-up emotions, leading to greater emotional balance and stability.

​

  • Physical Healing: Certain breathwork techniques can positively support the immune system, improve healthy respiratory and circulatory function. 

​

  • Spiritual Growth: Many people find that breathwork can deepen their spiritual connection and promote inner sense of peace. It is an ideal tool for meditation.
