Breathwork has been around for thousands of years. However, in the last several decades, we have seen an explosion in different styles of Breathwork. Some are based on ancient Yoga, while the other methods are more modern and claim to have similarly profound therapeutic benefits.
As an essential part of Yoga, breathing practice (Pranayama) has always been an effective method of inducing a meditative state and leading to mental tranquility. Pranayama also benefits many other systems in the body: respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and hormonal.
How is it different from the more modern Breathwork methods such as Wim Hof, Buteyko, Rebirthing,
Holotropic, and Transformational?
What are their applications?
In this training, we will explore the science behind different methods of Breathwork and practice them together to experience their effects.
