Breathwork offers a myriad of benefits to your physical body, from increasing lung capacity, boosting immunity, detoxification, increased metabolism, and more, all contributing to your overall health and vitality.
How Breathwork can help your Physical Body
Increased Lung Capacity
Through deep, diaphragmatic breathing, your lung capacity expands, allowing you to take in more oxygen with each breath. Greater lung capacity supports better oxygen exchange, fueling cellular energy production and overall vitality.
Detoxification
70% of toxins are released from your body through the breath. Every time you exhale, you expel carbon dioxide and other toxins from your body. Consciously breathing enhances this process and aids in the elimination of waste, supporting healthier cells and an overall healthier body.
Improved Oxygenation
Oxygen is essential for cellular function and energy production. Breathwork promotes oxygen rich cells, better circulation and improved blood flow, increased metabolism, nutrient rich tissues and organs, cognitive function, and overall cardiovascular health.
Stress Reduction
Breathwork activates your rest and digest system, or parasympathetic nervous system and vagus nerve, triggering a relaxation response. This is a physiological shift which reduces stress hormones like cortisol, leading to lower blood pressure, improved heart health, reducing the risk of stress-related conditions.
Boosted Immunity
When you have oxygen-rich blood, your immune system functions better. Breathwork enhances the distribution of immune cells and promotes an optimal internal environment for fighting infections and illnesses.
Better Digestion
Consciously breathing stimulates the relaxation response, allowing your organs to relax. This supports healthy digestion, minimizes digestive discomfort, and fosters nutrient absorption.
Pain Management and Muscle Relaxation
Deep breathing releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, as well as promotes relaxation. This can provide relief from chronic pain conditions, contribute to a higher pain tolerance, and alleviate muscle tension, leading to a more comfortable and potentially pain-free body.
Increased Energy and Stamina
Breathwork promotes an increase of oxygen, the primary source of energy for your cells. With more oxygen, there’s optimal energy production, leading to improved stamina, physical endurance, and reduced feelings of fatigue.
Improved Posture
During Breathwork you’re fully aware of the breath and body. Much of Breathwork is focused on aligning the spine, properly breathing into your stomach and engaging your core muscles. All of this promotes better posture, and with better posture, your body is aligned for ultimate health.
Skin Health
Improved oxygenation contributes to healthier skin cells, collagen production and cellular repair, leading to improved skin texture and overall radiance.
From lungs to cells to skin to energy levels, incorporating Breathwork into your routine leads to an optimally functioning, vital and healthy body inside and out.
