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.
