Do you sometimes find yourself sighing as you sink into the sofa after a long day? If so, your body is naturally using breathing to unwind and recover. In our breathwork classes, we do the same. When we engage in breathwork, we become aware of our breathing. By consciously controlling our breath, we can achieve various purposes such as physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Among other things, breathwork contributes to shutting down the thinking or ruminating mind so you can enter a state of calm and focus. It calms down the nervous system, shifting us out of fight or flight mode into deep relaxation.
