How breathwork… Well, works
Berlin Breath Club aims to remove the mystery from this ancient practice.
-
Breathe deeply and continuously without pausing between inhale and exhale. Focus on keeping the breath connected, flowing smoothly in and out.
-
As you breathe, oxygen floods your cells, increasing energy flow. The body shifts from "fight or flight" to relaxation, promoting healing and balance in the nervous system.
-
Some common and brief physical effects may include changes in body temperature, muscle tension, and slowed breathing. The sensations reflect energy shifts, emotional release, and your body’s natural response to the breathwork.
Considerations
Breathwork is physical and mental exercise.
When to Skip it
