“Breathwork provides a very direct and instantaneous state shift. After just one session, you can feel a tangible change within your body.”

Interesting parts of the article

“The premise of a breathwork class can seem, on its face, a little absurd. Breathing is something we’re born knowing how to do — it happens subconsciously, even in our sleep. Yet classes that teach people how to breathe are everywhere from Brooklyn to Bangkok, in settings ranging from five-star hotels to modest back-alley studios.”

“The beauty of breathwork is that within a few breaths you can alter your physiological state. Slow, deep diaphragmatic breathing sends a signal to the nervous system to switch from the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” mode into parasympathetic calm, activating the ventral vagal system. You are not just thinking about relaxation; you are commanding your body to shift into it.”

“Blackburn says tuning into the body’s signals instead can be life-changing. “Once you feel that through this kind of somatic work, it really connects you to your intuition and I think helps you move throughout the world,” she says. “That’s what people want.”

“Breathwork has become at least part of my answer to navigating a disorienting world. I have friends who find their meditation in dance or surfing, but those strategies are little help during a testy run-in with an obnoxious stranger on the subway. Breathwork’s power is its portability. No matter where you are, you can always elongate an exhale. It doesn’t ask for belief or intellectual buy-in; it merely offers a simple, verifiable truth: You are here, and you are breathing. In a landscape of endless, accelerating abstraction, this is one fact I can always access.”
