The term “breathwork” is a general term which encompasses much more than simply “deep breathing,” but is used to refer to any type of therapy which uses breath to improve mental, physical and spiritual health.
A goal of breathwork is to facilitate self-awareness and improve the capacity for self-healing.
There are different types of breathwork protocols and breathing exercises which can be used in conjunction with other types of therapy.
Breathwork therapy is thought to positively affect the following concerns:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic Pain
- PTSD/Anger
- Grief
- Mental Distress due to Physical Health Issues
