5. Breathwork

Please read this information in its entirety before completing any breathwork


What Breathwork is:

Breathwork describes a group of exercises that teach you to manipulate your breathing rate and depth with the goal of bringing awareness to your breath and ultimately providing the same benefits you might get from a meditative practice.


What Breathwork is *not*:

Breathwork is a complimentary therapy, i.e. it is a complement to services provided by doctors, nurses, and hospitals. 


Nature of the Services Provided:

Breathwork Sessions: The client participates in breathing exercises with eyes closed and in a safe position. Do not perform breathwork while driving. You might experience a stress release, emotional release, heightened sense of elation in the body.


What you should know about Breathwork:

Breathwork is generally safe when practiced with care. However, there are a few cases when it would not be advised to do breathwork; namely for anyone with a known cardiac arrhythmia (including very slow heart rate), a history of heart block, or people taking certain antipsychotic medications. Additionally, some types of breathwork can induce hyperventilation, which can bring on dizziness, chest pain, and pounding heartbeat.


Check with your doctor before you start a breathwork practice if you have a history of any of the following or are currently taking antipsychotic medications.


Breathwork not recommended if you have any of the following:

  • breathing issues
  • cardiovascular issues
  • high blood pressure
  • history of aneurysms
  • osteoporosis
  • recent physical injuries or surgeries
  • severe psychiatric symptoms
  • vision issues

 

Theory of Breathwork:

Breathwork is researched intentional breathing techniques that provide a heightened physiological experience and decrease stress on the system.
