Traditional Yogic and contemporary techniques to consciously guide the breath for specific outcomes
Rooted in yoga traditions, Breathwork combines ancient and contemporary meditation techniques for channeling and directing energy with the breath. Practiced either seated or reclined, this style of meditation includes controlling the breath’s speed, retaining the breath, manipulating the nostrils, noticing where the breath is in the body, and more. Breathwork can enhance athletic performance, build focus in the workplace, and create openness in relationships. More mind-body benefits include feeling calm, relaxed, energized, or sleep prep.
