General Safety Tips
Whenever practicing breathwork it is important to be situated in a safe environment. In some cases you may experience dizziness or fee light headed, in some cases although rare you may lose consciousness (pass out). Therefore we recommend lying on the floor or in an area that you will not hurt yourself if you fall. It is also important that you never perform while driving, in water (drowning can occur) on in any situation that passing out could harm yourself or others.
A report from 2013 documented the results of 11,000 people over 12 years who participated in a certain type of intense breathwork sessions. In addition to the many benefits that were observed, no adverse reactions were reported. This makes breathwork a rather low-risk modality.
Breathwork has the potential to bring about intense feelings. Because of the strong physical and emotional releases that may arise, it’s not recommended for some people. Please Talk to your doctor before practicing this type of breathing.
