Many different cultures have harnessed the power of the breath over many centuries and modern BREATHWORK has its roots in yoga practice.
The very first and very last thing we do is BREATHE......
In our modern world, many people suffer from anxiety, stress, panic attacks, nervous disorders, troubled sleep etc..
With BREATHWORK we aim to counteract ‘disordered breathing’ which often happens during panic attacks or heightened states of anxiety.
When the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are disrupted, this can lead to dizziness, rise in body temperature, sweating, loss of focus and concentration which then increases anxiety, panic or nervousness.
A vicious circle.
We can control our body and mind by taking control of our breath and easing these symptoms immediately.
Small adjustments can lead to big improvements
MECHANICS: inhaled air contains 21% O2 while exhaled breath contains approximately 16% O2 and 5% CO2
