Words of Advice
I have been teaching breathwork sessions for more than 20 years, working with thousands of students. During this time all I have seen was growth and positive transformation. The same applies to the strong body of scientific research of breathwork, showing the benefits of breathwork.
At the same time, breathwork might trigger powerful physical and emotional responses. Therefore, it is recommended that you talk to your doctor before practicing breathwork if you have, or have a history of: cardiovascular disease (any issues heart-related), high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, recent injury or surgery, history of panic attacks, severe mental illness, seizure disorders, family history of aneurysms, and asthma (and make sure you have your inhaler next to you during the session). Pregnant women or breastfeeding women should also consult with their doctor.
