Breathwork exercises are beneficial for physical and emotional health.
Deep breathing can help lower blood pressure and heart rate, reduce lactic acid build-up in muscles, and balance oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It can also improve circulation, strengthen the lungs, and boost the immune system.
It can also help reduce stress and anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression and anger, improve mood and self-esteem, help people feel more comfortable, relaxed, and alert, and improve their attention and emotional state, and help regulate emotions, including emotional awareness, access to regulation strategies, and emotional clarity.
