What is breathwork?
Do you experience stress, anxiety, brain fog, intrusive thoughts, high blood pressure, panic attacks, eczema or other similar symptoms?
Daily, weekly or monthly Breathwork practises cane help perfect breath which will reduce and most times eliminate these symptoms.
Breathwork is when you intentionally become aware of your breath and use it to improve your physical, mental, emotional health or physical performance.
The breath is malleable, and we can shape, train and programme it to suit our environment and maintain control of our state of mind.
Overall, by engaging in regular breathwork practices, individuals can train their nervous systems to respond more efficiently to stressors, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
What can breathwork do for me?
-
Nervous System Reset
Techniques such as slow deep diaphragmatic breathing and nostril breathing stimulate the PNS, which is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response. This activation can counteract the effects of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), responsible for the "fight or flight" response, leading to a sense of calm and relaxation
-
Mind-Body Connection
Conscious breathing practices can increase awareness of bodily sensations and promote mindfulness.
This heightened awareness allows individuals to recognise and release tension held in the body, leading to a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.

Release Tension in Body
Traumatic experiences and suppressed emotions can manifest as physical tension and holding patterns in the body. Certain techniques can help release this tension by promoting relaxation and increasing circulation. As physical tension is released, emotional tension associated with trauma may also be released.

Suana & Ice Bath
Contrast therapy combines exposure to both heat and cold, typically alternating between sauna sessions and ice baths.
Benefits include: improved circulation, promote detoxification, and support recovery by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. It can help improve the body's ability to adapt to stress and increase tolerance.
Ice Bath
Immersing the body in cold water can trigger the release of adrenaline and other stress hormones, leading to increased alertness and mental clarity. Some people find that ice baths help improve mood and concentration.
Health benefits also include improved circulation, enhanced immune function, and accelerated recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage.
Sauna
Regular sauna use has been linked to various health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, enhanced immune function, and reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.
Heat induced sweating helps to flush out toxins and impurities from the body.
The intense heat can trigger the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and promote a sense of well-being.
Slow & Flow
Slow breathing practices can have profound effects on physical and mental well-being, leading to greater relaxation, resilience to stress, and overall health. Whether practiced independently or as part of a structured mindfulness or relaxation program, slow breathing offers a simple yet powerful tool for promoting holistic wellness.

"No matter what we eat, how much we exercise, how resilient our genes are, how skinny or young or wise we are-none of it will matter unless we’re breathing correctly." ~Breath, by James Nestor
