Method Comparison / Breathwork

FIVE MOVESvs. Breathwork

The breath opens. FIVE MOVES completes.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork uses conscious breathing techniques – from holotropic breathing to box breathing – to access altered states of consciousness, release emotions, and activate the nervous system.

Breathwork can be powerfully opening. The challenge: without targeted follow-up, what opens can also close again. And: altered states aren't automatically transformative.
