I'm a breathwork coach and mental health ambassador based in London. Having discovered breathwork over two years ago, the practice had a profound impact on me, significantly improving my physical and mental wellbeing. I strongly believe that breathwork is the most universal and powerful tool that we all have access to change our minds and live healthier, happier lives.
I started The Breath Space as an accessible way for anyone to experience this blossoming area of mindfulness and personal growth. My goal is to provide you with the tools to work it into your daily life, as well as creating an environment to go deeper and understand new elements of yourself.
Our lives are book-ended by our first and last breaths and the average adult takes around 20,000 breaths every day, so why would anyone need to 'practice' breathwork? Firstly, for our health. Many of us do not breath optimally for our physical and mental health and step one with breathwork is to address this. Beyond that, breathwork can be an incredibly powerful practice to achieve a variety of different outcomes. Dr Ela Manga, a world renowned breathworker and medical professional, summarises this perfectly with her acronym, ART.
Before you can consciously control your breath, you need to be able to become aware of it. Breath awareness is one of the most fundamental mindfulness techniques and the foundation of breathwork.
We know that when our emotional or mental state changes, our breath can be affected (e.g. anxious, scared) but not everyone makes the connection in the other direction, if we change our breathing, we can change our state.
As we move into certain breathwork practices, we begin to open ourselves up to deeper experiences that allow us to access the subconscious and release energy, tension, emotional blockages and more.
