Breathwork involves intentional breathing techniques that support both physical and mental wellbeing. It’s an accessible way to reduce stress and improve calm in just a few minutes.

Benefits of breathwork:

• Reduces anxiety and cortisol (stress hormone) levels

• Improves sleep and relaxation

• Boosts focus and mental clarity

• May support immune function and recovery

Practice with care:

• Use gentle techniques like slow, deep breathing or box breathing

• Avoid over-breathing or holding breath too long

• If you feel lightheaded or overwhelmed, stop and rest

Not everyone should practise intense forms — always consult your GP or a qualified facilitator if unsure.
