WHAT IS BREATHWORK?

Breathwork is the way past the logical mind, straight to the heart and the wisdom of the body.

So what is Breathwork, really?

Breathwork is more than just deep breathing.
It is a powerful way to reconnect — with your body, your emotions, your nervous system, and ultimately, with yourself.

 

Breathwork isn’t new. Cultures around the world have worked with the breath for centuries — through yogic practices like Pranayama, in Buddhist meditation and in various indigenous healing traditions..

 

In its simplest form, breathwork is the intentional use of the breath to shift your physical, mental, and emotional state. But in truth, it is a doorway. A doorway to the parts of you that may have been waiting — quietly — for permission to come alive.

 

The breath is directly connected to your autonomic nervous system, giving you the opportunity to upregulate or downregulate. You can achieve greater relaxation with slow, controlled breaths, or fire up your system with short, more intense breaths.

 

I use breathwork as a somatic practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep rest. Whether you're holding tension from stress, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or feeling disconnected from your body, the breath offers a way back.

 

Meeting yourself more fully — breath by breath.

Die Session bei Charlotte war nicht meine erste Erfahrung mit Breathwork,
aber die erste, bei der ich wirklich was gespürt habe. An dem Tag gab es eine Sache, die mich getriggert hat und welche für mich Bestandteil der Session war. Ich habe während der Session einen deutlichen Shift gemerkt, wie sich meine Atmung beruhigt hat und ohne groß nachzudenken einfach floss, mein Körper hat sich spürbar entspannt und ich habe für mich Antworten und Erklärungen finden
können. Danke, Liebe Charlotte, für dieses schöne Erlebnis.

Why Breathwork?

We need a tremendous amount of energy to keep unconscious or uncomfortable emotions, issues, or patterns at bay. Breathwork helps to create space. It gets energy moving. Helps you locate and shift stagnation and resistance and loosen the tight grip. Releasing what is ready to move. Creating spaciousness to come back to your truth.

  • Stress Release

  • Finding clarity and focus

  • Access to creativity and expression

  • Outlet for emotional tension

  • Promoting life energy

  • Integration of challenging emotions

  • Balance for the nervous system

  • Access to the heart

  • Deep relaxation

 

Healing and nervous system regulation takes time. AND we can use the power of the breath as a shortcut back to the heart.

The time I learned to breathe again..

I started studying the physiology and importance of breathing more intensely back in 2020. Though, it is a topic that has been with me for way longer.

 

I held my breath for a long time.

 

Giving little space to my feelings and emotions.

Connected to the fear of making a wrong move, of not being enough, of making a mistake. Of being too different. Too sensitive. Too loud. Too quiet. Of not belonging.

 

Breathwork taught me to make space for all of this.

The fears, the sadness, the joy, the life energy, my intuition.

It has helped me through some of the most intense times of my life. Reminding me to move all that lives within me..

 

Breathwork, whether through two-stage Pranayama meditation or classical Pranayama exercises, is now an integral part of my own practice.

Let's breathe together..
