Benefits of Breathwork

Inner Peace and Clarity

Breathwork increases oxygen levels in the brain and alkalizes the blood by raising its pH, which helps calm the Default Mode Network—leading to greater awareness, clarity, and insight.

Spiritual Insight and Deeper Connection

For thousands of years, wisdom traditions have used breath to access the Luminous Mind—our original, untarnishable awareness that holds inherited wisdom and deep compassion. Breathwork reconnects us to this source, which is why many report feeling held by this inner resource and feeling a profound sense of okayness, oneness, and connection to Self, spirit, and the universe.

Nervous System Restoration

Stress restricts breathing, which leads to an overactive sympathetic nervous system. Breathwork regulates the nervous system, which in turn sends signals to the brain that we are not in fight or flight mode. The nervous system tells the brain to release stress hormones from your body and the body relaxes.
