What is Breathwork and why practice it?

Relax your body. Recalibrate your system. Recharge your life.

Breathwork isn’t a single technique—it’s a spectrum. From gentle, restorative practices to deep, transformational journeys, the breath meets you where you are and evolves as you do. Some techniques support nervous system regulation. Others build resilience by helping you stay grounded in intensity. And some open the space for emotional release, energetic coherence, and expanded self-awareness.

At The X Breath, we work with the full spectrum through an integrative model called Expansion Breathwork—a synthesis of science, spirit, and psychology designed to support real, embodied change. This isn’t about chasing highs or escaping into altered states. It’s about returning to presence, restoring your breath, and remembering the wholeness that’s always lived within you.

Your breath is more than a tool—it’s an intelligent guide. It reveals where you’re holding, where you’ve disconnected, and where you’re ready to return. Whether through gentle control or deep surrender, each breath is a step toward home—back to your body, back to presence, back to the truth beneath the noise. Both pathways guide you from grounded presence into deeper transformation, at a pace that honours your body’s wisdom.

✔️ Conscious Breathing Techniques

These foundational practices use intentional breath control to create specific physiological and psychological outcomes. Techniques like Coherent Breathing, Box Breathing, Wim Hof and Yogic Pranayama help regulate the nervous system, support emotional stability, enhance sleep, and deepen spiritual practices such as meditation. Here, the breath becomes a tool to calm the body, sharpen self-awareness, and cultivate a grounded sense of safety you can return to again and again.

Best for: nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and building resilience through conscious breath control.

✔️ Conscious Connected Breathwork

Unlike controlled techniques, this therapeutic modality invites you to release control and surrender to the breath’s continuous rhythm. Often referred to as Rebirthing or Holotropic Breathwork, it works beyond the cognitive mind, allowing unconscious tension, stored memories, and emotions to surface and integrate. Because of the depth of what can emerge, a sense of safety is essential, either through trust in the facilitator, the space, or your own readiness to let go.

Best for: emotional healing, energetic expansion, and accessing deeper layers of inner truth.

Your Questions About Breathwork Answered

Is Breathwork just hyperventilating?

No. Breathwork when done correctly should not induce any type of hyperventilation or panic attack. Hyperventilating is an uncontrolled exhale that causes too much CO2 to be expelled from the body resulting in panic or a sensation of suffocation. Breathwork uses a super-ventilation breath technique which is a relaxed exhalation with a full and complete inhalation that creates a continual and rhythmical breathing pattern that can lead to emotional releases, a mild altered state of consciousness and other therapeutic benefits that support health, healing and wellbeing.

How long does a Breathwork session last?

Most Breathwork sessions last for around an 90 minutes from start to finish which includes a set-up phase for intention and connecting with one's current physiological state, followed by the connected breathing process and finishing with a time for integrating and processing which may consist of sharing your experience with your facilitator or other people in the group or a meditation. Please allow 2 hours especially if you are driving afterwards.

What happens in each Breathwork session?

Each Breathwork session can be different and will bring forth whatever your body needs to process in that particular moment. Everyone's experience is unique to them which could include emotional releases, profound awareness and mental clarity. Some people experience more bodily sensations like tingling, heaviness or spontaneous movements and shaking. When done in a proper setting with a skilled facilitator all of these experiences are completely safe and usually lead to a sense of relaxation and completeness of whatever surfaced.

How many Breathwork session do I need?

Most people have a moving experience in their first session and subsequent sessions will be dependent on what you want to achieve. For some people, occasional sessions are adequate to help harmonise the nervous system and bring a sense of relaxation into the body and mind. For others a block of 6-10 sessions on a regular basis creates life-changing behaviour patterns as one removes emotional blockages, releases past experiences from the nervous system and reprogramme subconscious beliefs which become clearer from session to session. Each session will build to the next uncovering more insight into one's stages of childhood development and possible trauma.

Is a Breathwork session safe for me?

Breathwork is safe for most people of all ages with no pre-existing heart conditions, illness or pregnancy. People with pre-existing mental conditions or on medications should seek medical advice. Just like someone with a heart condition or illness would be cautious about starting a high-intensity training program without guidance, Breathwork is the same.
