WHAT IS BREATHWORK?

“Breathwork is any time that you become aware of your breathing and start to use it to create a physical, mental or emotional benefit for yourself.” – Richie Bostock aka The Breath Guy.

Breathing techniques are tools for major transformation and healing. We each have the power to manipulate our breath for a desired outcome, whether we are trying to sleep, control a panic attack or simply feel a bit calmer.

Breathing may seem like the most solitary thing we do, but this is a trend being led by people. Creative practitioners are using breathwork in many new ways – from fitness and rehabilitation to relief from trauma and PTSD. And it’s a trend that reveals how so much of the medicine in wellness comes from the people-to-people connections, the community and community-building. As Sage Rader, founder of Breath Church puts it: ‘People who breathe together consciously over time begin to share a common bond that transcends words or rational explanation.'”
