I’ve never done Breathwork before, can I still join?
No prior experience is required. This breathwork is suitable for all levels, including beginners. We provide guidance for each session to ensure everyone can participate comfortably.
How does breathing contribute to managing stress and anxiety?
Breathwork can facilitate deep relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system AKA "rest and digest" which heklps the body to feel safe. The stress response comes from the sympathetic nervous system AKA "fight or flight" and so we can interplay between the two with our breath- bringing "rest and digest" into dominance and generating feelings of safety.
Is this Wim Hoff breathwork?
There are an infinite number of breathwork protocols. The Wim Hof method is probably the most popular and is based on ancient yogic breathing practices. However this is a breath practice that stimulates the flight or flight stress response. We will not be practicing Wim Hoff technique in this session- although we are massive massive fans of the technique in the right context. Rather we will use more gentle breath practices in particular those techniques of of Patrick Mckeown of Oxygen Advantage
What can I expect in a typical BreathFlow session?
Sessions include guided breath techniques, exercises, and practical tools to help you build a tool box of techniques you can use in your life to navigate stress and anxiety.
How often should I attend BreathFlow sessions?
The frequency depends on how quickly you can integrate the tools into your daily life. One session can be enough! The idea is that we give you these tools and you can go away and keep doing the practice on your own. However the sessions are also a good time to check in and give yourself some self care..so don't be a stranger!
