I often feel overwhelmed during the working day and exercise helps me destress. But I generally don't have time for a full yoga class or a HIIT session during my lunch break, so I thought I'd give a short breathwork session a go.
Breathwork can take many forms, but the basis of it is slow intentional breathing. Usually, it involves diaphragmatic breathing, or belly breathing, where you inhale deeply to ‘fill up’ the belly. Doing a session is a bit like learning how to meditate, as it helps you focus on one thing and draws your attention to the present moment.
