Breath Work
Breath work is a broad term that encompasses various exercises that channel and focus on breath to facilitate physical, mental and emotional healing. Changing the technique through pattern, timing, depth and use of nostrils or mouth creates a variety of options and experiences for the breather. Breath work is a way to activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system to help participants de-stress and de-escalate.
