Functional breathwork involves consciously adjusting your breathing, whether fast, slow or rhythmic to influence your body and mind.  Imagine your breath as a car - when you inhale (press the accelerator), your energy and heart rate increase; when you exhale (press the brake), your heart rate slows down.  This powerful technique gives you control over your autonomic nervous system, shifting you from the fight or flight response to a calm, restorative state.

The breath has the ability to reset the nervous system.  By breathing consciously,  you can promote mental clarity, lower blood pressure, support respiratory health, and enhance emotional well-being.  It can also help shift thought patterns, transforming stress or negativity into a more peaceful, focused mindset.  

This practice is an accessible and effective way to reconnect with your body, calm your mind, and restore balance.
