What is Breathwork?

“So what exactly is breathwork?” is a question I’m often asked.

Folks who have experienced different breathing techniques in yoga classes often wonder if this whole “breathwork” thing is the same thing…and technically it is! Annnd it isn’t. I like to tell folks there’s breathwork…and then there’s breathwork.

And breathwork—combined with other gentle somatic practices—is what I use with my clients.

In this short video above, I share:

• What breathwork is

• How the style of breathwork I work with (conscious connected breathwork) differs from pranayama techniques

• A few of the benefits of conscious connected breathwork

• What to consider before trying your first breathwork session

Have a watch to learn how breathwork may be able to support you in your healing journey (and if you watch all the way to the end, you’ll even see a guest feature from my favourite furry friend!).
