Breathwork Benefits
Emotional trauma and stress are often stored in our nervous system, subtly influencing our breathing patterns. This may lead to shallow breathing or even unconsciously holding our breath.
Conscious connected breathwork allows us to intentionally focus on our breath, helping to reset the nervous system and support the body in adapting more effectively to daily life. Its benefits are physical, emotional & mental.

Pranayama Breathwork
Pranayama is a sanskrit word made of “Prana”, meaning breath of life or vital energy and “ayama” meaning expansion, regulation or control. This ancient technique helps manage energy levels, cope with emotional responses, such as stress, anxiety, depression, and achieve states of deep relation and heightened awareness.
Through different breathing patterns, we learn how to control our breath to clear the physical, mental and emotional blocks within us, and free our PRANA.
