Important Information Before Practising Breathwork
(Pranayama, Breathwork & Conscious Breathing Practices)
Breathwork is a powerful practice that can influence the nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and various physiological processes within the body.
While breathing practices can offer significant benefits for many people, they may not be suitable for everyone or in every circumstance.
The following information is provided to help you practise safely, responsibly, and with greater awareness.
Possible Experiences During Practice
During breathwork you may experience:
Light-headedness or dizziness
Tingling sensations in the hands, lips, or face
Emotional release, including sadness, anxiety, or tears
Temporary muscle tension or cramping
Mild feelings of disorientation
These responses are generally normal reactions of the nervous system to changes in breathing patterns.
If any sensation becomes intense, distressing, or uncomfortable, stop the practice immediately and allow your breathing to return to its natural rhythm.
Safe Practice Guidelines
To ensure a safe and positive experience:
Practise in a quiet, safe environment while sitting or lying down.
Never practise while driving, swimming, operating machinery, or in any situation where losing awareness could create danger.
Do not force your breathing to become excessively deep or intense.
Breathwork should never cause pain or severe discomfort.
Begin with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body adapts.
Practise only when sober and free from alcohol or recreational drugs.
If you feel uncertain, anxious, or overwhelmed, choose gentler and slower breathing techniques.
