BREATHWORK

According to yogic teachings, everything that we’ve experienced in our lives is stored in the breath. Our breath can tell truths that we ourselves cannot see.

Breath is the storehouse of all memory and impressions. When you become very skilful at observing the quality of your breath truths about yourself that have been long hidden or forgotten will start to emerge. Breathwork allows us to tap into these stored impressions in our breath in order for them to fulfil their cycle of motion, to be experienced and finally released from our system.

It is not a mind game, it is only about feeling and expressing that feeling.

Breathwork encompasses a variety of breathing techniques designed to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. One of the most significant benefits of breathwork is its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. By consciously regulating the breath, individuals can activate the body's relaxation response, leading to lowered heart rates and reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Additionally, breathwork can improve focus and clarity, making it a valuable tool for those seeking to enhance their productivity or mental acuity. Breathwork can also promote emotional release, allowing individuals to process and let go of pent-up feelings, ultimately fostering a greater sense of peace and balance.
