It’s safe to say that if you are reading this you have already mastered the art of breathing for survival!
What many of us do not realise however, is that the breath, when trained through breath-work, can also connect us to profound experiences. For some, this will be a powerful voyage into the emotions; for others, it is experienced as a spiritual journey.
But what all breath-workers agree upon is that becoming breath-conscious is an inspirational gateway to feeling truly alive. Breathe fully and deeply with awareness to empower the body, focus the mind and nourish the spirit.
