FAQ

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork (conscious connected breathing) is a powerful breathing technique to bring body, mind, and emotions into harmony.

Keeping the breath connected means not pausing between inhalation and exhalation. For about an hour, we breathe deeply, fully, and intensely into all areas of the lungs.

This changes the body’s chemistry and can lead to extraordinary and consciousness-expanding states. Different areas of the brain are connected compared to normal breathing. Practitioners can often go deep within themselves, recognize old patterns, gain new clarity, release blockages, enhance body awareness, and much more.

How Connected Breathing Affects Your Body

Conscious connected breathing lowers CO2 levels, making oxygen uptake less efficient but improving cellular oxygen use over time, enhancing cellular respiration.

Balancing the Nervous System

Breathwork activates the nervous system by engaging the abdomen, diaphragm, and chest. Abdominal breathing calms the body, diaphragm breathing promotes safety and emotional processing, and chest breathing increases alertness and energy.

Strengthening the Immune System

Regular practice can boost immune function by supporting lymphatic drainage and detoxification, reducing susceptibility to illness.
