We breathe about 25,000 times a day. If we're not doing it properly, we're never going to be healthy. As the American Lung Association states, "If practiced regularly, breathing exercises can help rid the lungs of accumulated stale air, increase oxygen levels and get the diaphragm to return to its job of helping you breathe". Breathwork is important in helping you breathe effectively even when you're not thinking of it. With increased oxygen levels, your mental and physical state is improved.

It is not advised to do Breathwork if you have a history of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, aneurysms, or recent surgery without speaking to your doctor. Additionally, Breathwork is not advised for people with seizure disorders. Breathwork can be practiced by every healthy individual. As breathing techniques can affect the physiology of the body, it can have a profound effect on people that are in poor health and may have certain illnesses. If you are dealing with any serious medical or psychological condition, consult a healthcare professional before practicing breathwork pranayama or any PranaFlo techniques.

A growing number of studies prove the various health benefits of breathwork. In a 2017 study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, they found that participants who completed 20 breathwork training sessions over eight weeks had significantly lower levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) than those who did not receive the training. Another study by Harvard Business Review also found that breathing exercises were most effective for both immediate and long-term stress reduction. Modern science is finally catching on to ancient practices! (:

Some of the gentle and calming breathing techniques are safe to practice while pregnant or menstruating. Pregnant women are generally advised against strong, dynamic, hyperventilation breathing techniques. Be mindful and always listen to your body.

Think of breathwork as the workout and meditation as the cool down. Although breathwork and meditation are considered separate practices, both are completely ingrained. If you’ve ever tried to sit in meditation after a long stressful day, you know it can be difficult to quiet the mind of restless thoughts. You may try to focus on the breath, but sometimes it's not enough to calm your mind. During breathwork, we not only focus on our breath, but we also breathe in various patterns, rhythms and in different areas in the body. Breathwork Pranayama involves techniques intended to clear blockages in the body & calm the mind, making it easier to get in deep states of meditation. It is also recommended to sit in meditation after breathwork to allow the systems to calm down and return to balance.
