inward-breathwork

The health benefits of breathwork are numerous and gaining more recognition around the world. With our daily chronic stress and anxiety, we can easily take breathing for granted. In fact, 90% of us are not breathing correctly meaning that we breathe through our mouths and not our noses. This is concerning because how you breathe affects every cell in your body and can have a negative impact on your health and wellbeing. It can exacerbate chronic issues like high blood pressure, anxiety and stress. The good news is that we can re-activate our diaphragms and expand our lungs through the foundational breathing techniques shared in this episode. In this episode, Inward Breathwork co-founders Amanda Laine and Harry Taylor, discuss various forms of breathwork and breathing exercises you can do such as the box breath to help you breathe better and feel healthier.
