There are many different styles and techniques of breath work. Simply put, breath work is consciously connecting to and controlling our breath in order to reach a deeper meditative state. By giving the mind something to focus on while actively engaging with the breath, a deep reset of the nervous system is achieved. The breath helps move stuck energy out of the body, while bringing in fresh oxygen to recharge and rejuvenate both body and mind.

Breath work allows us to tap into the subconscious self. This can help us identify and release limiting beliefs and old thought patterns that keep us stuck or unearth and process experiences from the past. It can also help bring clarity when needing a higher perspective in facing life’s questions and challenges. Once a deeper meditative state has been reached, we are allowed entry into altered states of consciousness, while remaining present and in the body.
