How is Breathwork different than my normal breathing?
Breath is the most natural thing in life. We each breath about 17,000 times a day. But, have you considered how you breath? When stressed, we take short, quick chest breaths that release stress hormones like cortisol, increase carbon dioxide in the blood and hyperactivate the nervous system. Breathwork uses proven deep breathing techniques over a longer period of time (up to 30 minutes) to replenish the brain, belly and key organs with rich oxygen.
