Why Breathing?
Every day, approximately 23,000 breaths flow through you. Each one holds potential. When you harness the power of your breath, you gain a profound connection to your nervous system.
A rapidly growing number of people count on breathwork for anxiety and stress reduction, mental clarity, and a state of ‘calm alertness.’ Some like that they ‘get high on their supply’ and access feelings of natural euphoria. Others report improved health and gains in athletic performance. More than a few discover confidence, perspective, and gratitude.

The Science
You may be curious about what’s going on in your body as you breathe with us. We are too!
Centuries of anecdotal evidence of the physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits of breathing practices are now being backed by emerging science. Not only have studies shown a reduction in symptoms associated with anxiety, stress, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, PTSD, and even ADD/ADHD, but they also suggest positive effects on immune function, cardiovascular health, creativity, focus, and more.
Keep in mind, however, all breaths are not created equal, and different techniques may up-regulate or down-regulate certain physiological functions within your bodymind. Breathe your best breath and a daily breathing practice can deliver just what you need to arrive at an optimal state of homeostasis and well-being.
