10 Ways Breathwork Can Help You

After a holiday weekend is always the perfect time to dedicate some self-care time. Breathwork is an simple yet powerful way to restore balance and promote overall well-being.

Every month, I host a monthly virtual breathwork class.

Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect from participating in the class:

-Stress Reduction: Breathwork helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing deep relaxation and reducing stress levels.

-Increased Energy: By oxygenating the body through conscious breathing practices, you can experience a natural boost in energy levels, helping to overcome any post-holiday fatigue.

-Detoxification: Taking deep breaths helps eliminate toxins from the body and improves circulation, which can aid in the cleansing process after enjoying Thanksgiving meals.

-Mental Clarity: Breathwork can enhance mental clarity and focus, allowing you to clear your mind and improve cognitive function.

-Emotional Release: By engaging in intentional breathwork, you can tap into deep emotions and release any tension, trigger or emotions that might have come up over Thanksgiving weekend.

I truly believe that breathwork has the power to revitalize both the body and mind, giving you a much-needed reset after a long weekend. So, I invite you to join me for an upcoming Breathwork Class to prioritize your well-being and self-care. Link in bio.

Is Breathwork the Key to Nervous System Regulation? {WebMD Health Discovered}

Have you ever been in a stressful situation where it feels as if you are losing control of your body?

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system may cause our chest to tighten, our thoughts to race, and our breathing to become shallow.

What are our options in these moments?

What can we rely on to bring us back to center when we experience dysregulation?

Breathwork, belly breathing, or paced respiration is an intentional manipulation of how we breathe to achieve specific mental, emotional, or physical benefits.

Tune into this episode of the WebMD Health Discovered podcast, where I speak about various breathwork techniques, from breath of fire to box breathing, and the powerful advantages of breathwork, including relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.
