Vedic Breathing as Medicine

Studies show that almost all of us are dysfunctional breathers with an urgent need for breath retraining. Since infancy, each and every stress we have endured has changed the way we breath. We then quickly adapt to each stress induced breathing pattern—which becomes our new dysfunctional norm. Studies link poor breathing to pain, indigestion, depression, compromised immunity, cancer, poor sleep and so much more.

Vedic Breathing as Medicine starts with a retraining of proper breathing mechanics but takes both the bio-mechanics and subtle influences of breathing much further. But, beyond breathing as medicine, a functional diaphragm is the body’s primary self-awareness tool which through interoception facilitates emotional regulation via higher brain centers rather than more primitive fight or flight and reward pathways. This higher level of breathing is what opens the door to happiness, higher states of consciousness and emotional freedom.
