Breathing. Something we all take for granted, right? Well, most people only use 40% of their potential lung capacity and there's a growing body of evidence on the benefits of breathwork, so we are happy to announce a new fortnightly breathwork circle led by Michael Wachter at The Elysian Centre, beginning Monday 1 May from 7.30-8.30pm, £15 per session.

Potential benefits:
Reduction in stress and anxiety: Breathwork has been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and lower feelings of anxiety, leading to a greater sense of calm and relaxation.
Improvement in mental clarity and focus:
Breathwork can increase oxygen flow to the brain, improving mental clarity and concentration.
Boosting immune function:
Deep breathing has been linked to improved immune function by increasing the production of antibodies and enhancing the activity of immune cells.
Enhanced athletic performance: Breathwork techniques can help athletes increase their endurance, recover faster from exertion, and improve their overall performance.
Improved sleep quality:
Breathwork can promote relaxation and reduce stress, leading to better sleep quality and duration.
Supporting emotional healing: Breathwork can help individuals process and release emotional blockages, leading to greater emotional balance and healing.
