The term “breath work” refers to deep, diaphragmatic breathing or belly breathing, which research suggests may cause relaxation responses in the body. Breathwork exercises include a variety of breathing techniques intended to improve one’s physical, emotional, and mental wellness. You have probably been told to take deep breaths before, professional breathwork expands on this. Furthermore, breath work is often referred to in the context of “interventions” such as breathing techniques, diaphragmatic breathing, or breathing rehabilitation. Breath work includes specialized breathing exercises such as holotropic breathing, which is more commonly used as mind-body therapy and is connected to specific theories and varying degrees of supporting evidence.
