Breathwork Amsterdam

We are breathe every day- and everyone has a unique breathing pattern. The way we live our lives is reflected in our breathing pattern.

Breathwork is a powerful practice that involves conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can be used as a portal to your inner world, bringing awareness and insights. Enabling you to tap into your body's innate healing abilities, leading to greater vitality, clarity, and inner peace.

We all have experiences in our life that affect our breathing pattern. As a young child , we already start to (unconsciously) dose or control our breathing. By not breathing fully, we don't have to feel everything. As we grow older, we mostly unlearn to cry, yawn, scream, laugh freely; basically to allow & express our feelings. Everytime we (unconsciously) hold our breath, we block a feeling arising from within us. We control or suppress feelings and emotions, for example, by tightening muscles in the abdominal area, breathing higher, exhaling tensely, or by simply breathing less expansively.

We can consciously use our breath to reconnect with our feelings and our body again. By consciously choosing to breathe, we invite and welcome every part of ourselves. Allowing ourselves to become aware of our inner world and fully embody our true self.

Become aware of your inner world through your breath and develop personally through positive transformation.

Our breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts & memories.

Breathwork and bodywork are such beautiful and essential methods to get to the core. Traditional treatment/therapy mostly does not consider the body. We are then still able to hold up a certain strory. Our bodies store trauma responses, the memories of those old trauma's, that are getting generalized now to the present moment. So therefore we Need somatic and body based work, so we can integrate and begin to really shift our body stored memory.

Breathwork is the art + science of applying breath awareness + conscious breathing for health, growth and change in body, mind and spirit.

Physical

Based on an analysis of your breathing pattern, you will be guided to clear up physical restrictions and improve the efficiency of your breathing mechanism to transform the health and vitality of the physical body, producing:

More energy
Increased detoxification
Improved breathing capacity
Enhanced immune response
Improved metabolism and digestion
Muscle tension relief

Mental / emotional

Your state of mind and emotions are associated with distinct breathing patterns.

Have you ever noticed that when you are stressed, anxious or scared, you breathe short and shallow, breaths, but when we feel happy and calm, our breath is full and relaxed?
During a breathing session you will learn how to consciously change the depth, rhythm and rate of your breath to hack the messages transmitted from the body’s respiratory system to the neuropathways in the brain.

This transforms:

Stress to calmness
Reacting to responding
Complaint to compassion
Hearing to listening
Disagreement to balance
Separation to unification
Blame to resolve

Spiritual

Humans are made of cells, which are made of atoms, which are made of particles of vibrating energy. Even your thoughts, feelings and emotions are vibrating energy. In Physics, the Law of Entrainment tells us that if you create an extremely high vibrational frequency in the body any low vibrational energy (including emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, guilt) is integrated and permanently transformed to that of a higher vibration. This allows you to:

Permanently clear repressed emotions, old mental tapes and feelings of lack & limitation
Deepen relaxation response
Enhance creativity and expression
Connect to a deeper sense of self expression
Access higher state of consciousness
Increase peace, clarity and joy.
