What is a breathwork technique?
A breathwork technique is a conscious practice that regulates the rhythm, depth, and pattern of breathing with a specific purpose.
Unlike the automatic breathing we do all day, breathwork seeks to connect body and mind through breath, creating space for balance and recovery.

Main types of breathing techniques
There are many types of breathing techniques, each with specific uses depending on your needs at any given moment.
Here are some of the most popular types of breathing techniques:
Conscious breathing
This first type involves simply observing your breath without changing it—just becoming aware of the air moving in and out.
We recommend it for beginners and for helping with meditation.
Diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing
Focuses on expanding the abdomen instead of the chest while inhaling. It improves oxygenation and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress.
Box breathing
Often used by athletes and elite teams, it follows a 4-second pattern: inhale, hold, exhale, hold. It boosts concentration and calms the mind.
Pranayama
A well-known yogic method that includes techniques like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Kapalabhati (breath of fire).
Holotropic breathing
An intense technique performed in guided sessions with music, using an accelerated breathing pattern to release emotional blockages.
Wim hof method
A technique that combines controlled hyperventilation with cold exposure, strengthening the immune system and enhancing mental resilience.
