Hyperventilation (breathwork)
Do you ever feel suddenly light-headed, short of breath or restless for no apparent reason? Do you feel as though you are struggling to calm your breathing? Hyperventilation can feel very intense, but it is an understandable reaction from your body.
You hyperventilate and struggle to control your breathing
Hyperventilation occurs when you breathe faster or shallower than your body needs. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, tingling, palpitations and a feeling of panic. This often happens in response to stress, tension or anxiety, even if you are not aware of it. Your breathing and nervous system become unbalanced, causing you to enter a state of tension. These symptoms can be frightening and may lead you to avoid similar situations. At the same time, you may want nothing more than to regain a sense of control and calm.
Learn to breathe properly and remain calm, even in stressful situations
Restoring calm, natural breathing is an important first step towards greater control and relaxation. Breathwork or breath coaching can offer relief quickly, as they take your specific symptoms as a starting point. Breathwork involves simple and effective techniques that help you learn to manage tension and regain confidence in your body.
