Relieves stress and anxiety
As I mentioned earlier, when you engage in breathwork, you change the nervous system’s response to stress. That means less of stress hormones like cortisol being released. Too-high levels of cortisol can lead to issues like weight gain, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances and more. More breathwork less cortisol. Win!
Improves your mood
Following breathing patterns can provide a mood boost and, over time, even help with depression. One study found that three months of yoga and coherent breathing significantly reduced depressive symptoms in individuals who’d been diagnosed with major depressive disorders.
