BREATHWORK
Simple and accessible breathing techniques to help you to balance your energy levels, reduce stress, sleep better and boost digestion
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a mindful practice focused on conscious control and regulation of breathing patterns. By deepening awareness of the breath, individuals can positively influence their physical and mental well-being. This practice involves intentional and rhythmic breathing techniques to optimize the use of the diaphragm muscle and engage the body's relaxation response.
Even a few conscious breaths can wield a significant impact, making this technique invaluable for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm.
Workshop Details
This session will provide you with a concise introduction to the beneficial practice of breathwork. You'll learn how conscious breathing techniques can profoundly affect your stress levels, energy levels, sleep, and digestion. You'll discover what stress is, and what a healthy stress response looks like.
You'll learn various ways to reduce the impact of stress on your body and why they work. You'll deepen your awareness of how you breathe and improve your understanding of how stress and breath are connected.

Disclaimer
Although very safe and gentle, this Breathwork is not appropriate in certain circumstances such as, but not limited to - pregnancy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent surgery to the torso, severe breathing conditions, or any other medical issue that could be made worse by deep breathing, such as pulmonary embolism. Please read the above disclaimer and only participate in the practical exercise if it's appropriate to do so. These exercises are not expected to produce any untoward symptoms such as lightheadedness, or shortness of breath. If you experience any untoward effects during the practical, please stop the exercise immediately and resume normal breathing. The rest of the talk would still be of value, as we'll only practice the breathing exercise for a few minutes, during which time you can simply sit and relax!
