About Breathwork
You unconsciously take around 20,000 breaths every day. Each breath stimulates your nervous system and thus influences your state of mind, your sense of security, your resilience and your health.
Used consciously, your breath can become a tool with which you can stabilise, regulate and even transform yourself!
Breathwork, the work with the breath, has been known in different cultures and traditions for thousands of years. We know pranayama from yoga, for example.
What is breathwork?
Today, the term Breathwork combines different breathing techniques that pursue different goals. What all techniques have in common, however, is that they all affect the nervous system.
The breath is used to calm or stimulate the nervous system, to experience other states of consciousness or simply to allow the body to be better experienced. There are breathwork techniques that aim to achieve a strong activation (e.g. Wim Hof method) or an altered state of consciousness (e.g. psychedelic breath). There is breathwork to establish a healthy breathing pattern, breathing meditations to promote interoception and transformative breathwork. The latter (especially if it is trauma-sensitive) aims to close stress cycles, gently integrate old unprocessed experiences and make you more stress-resistant for everyday life.
And all this just through your breath.
Why does the breath affect our nervous system?
Slow, conscious breathing signals to the brain that we are safe, shifting us out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm and regulation. It stimulates the vagus nerve and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows the heart rate, reduces cortisol, and brings the body into a state where healing and deeper presence are possible. Breathwork helps us move from a reactive state into a responsive one, allowing us to feel grounded, connected, and safe within ourselves.
By learning to breathe “right” — meaning slow, deep, yet light — you gain the ability to consciously activate the part of your nervous system responsible for relaxation.
Through practicing transformational breathwork, you’ll experience the power of your breath on a whole new level. You’ll discover how breathing in a specific pattern can help you release tension, integrate experiences, and let go of stress.
