More about Breathwork

---

 Active breathing has been shown to reduce levels of inflammation in the body, which is associated with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, stress, depression, and a weakened immune system. When you practice diaphragmatic breathing, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system and go into the 'rest and digest' mode, which helps lower your blood pressure and cortisol levels. Mindful breathing can also reduce the size of the amygdala, which promotes stress reduction effects. The amygdala is the part of the brain that detects if you are in danger and activates the fight or flight response. 

Participants experience an intense awareness shift, often from the very first session, releasing and integrating stored trauma and trapped emotion. Many experience a profound emotional release, and/or an enlarged and profound change in perspective. It encourages you to let go of being in control and to surrender to the present moment. "Not only has it exorcized the early childhood trauma that led me to addiction...it takes away the anxiety and stress of today." (Frank Cordovano, Certified Breathwork Coach)
