Breathwork refers to many forms of conscious alteration of breathing, such as hyperventilation or connecting the inhale and exhale, when used within psychotherapy or meditation. The technique may be used to attain alternate states of consciousness. Sustained practice of breathwork techniques may result in spiritual or psychological benefits.

Breathwork is used to accomplish certain goals, which could include greater spirituality, better overall health, psychological reconnection to different times in life, or psychological well-being. Breathwork isn’t a new idea and it has been employed in things like yoga for centuries.
