Breathwork is the conscious controlled use of different breathing patterns, exercises, and techniques in order to achieve a specific outcome. It can be used to alter or enhance both emotional and physical states within the body. ​Studies have shown numerous benefits to practicing breathwork including emotional release, the ability to process trauma, shifting of energetic state, and increased connection to feelings such as gratitude and compassion. Breathwork can be used to create new neural pathways and to shift old habits which no longer serve you.
