What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a safe, gentle and powerful breathing technique. Conscious connected breathing over a period of time energises the body and may bring old memories, feelings and physical tension into awareness. Accepting, or integrating, these sensations result in a profound sense of relaxation and well-being. The immediate aim of breathwork is to be relaxed and energised with reduced stress and increased aliveness. The long term aim is the expansion of awareness through contacting the subconscious thoughts, beliefs and recurring patterns that are running our lives. Empowered both physically and spiritually, individuals find themselves more free to express their creativity, more able to adapt to the movement of life and more capable of participating in the creation of the life-path of their choice.

Essentially, breathwork recognises the breath as the most simple, natural and powerful inner resource available for triggering openings into our inner state of being.
