What is breathwork?
Breathwork is more than deep breathing. It’s a structured way of using the breath to regulate the nervous system, shift mental states, and access a sense of clarity and calm.
​
At Equal Psychology, we use breathwork as a way to:
-
Slow down the body’s stress response.
-
Create moments of stillness in a busy mind.
-
Support emotional regulation and self-awareness.
-
Give the brain a break from over-analysis.
Breathwork isn’t about forcing relaxation - it’s about giving your system a chance to reset naturally.
Why breathwork?
Breathwork and therapy work together. While therapy helps you understand your patterns, breathwork helps you regulate the physiological responses that often drive them.
​
-
If you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking… breathwork helps shift you out of your head and into your body.
-
If you’ve ever struggled to ‘calm down’ on command… breathwork helps you access calm without forcing it.
-
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by emotions… breathwork provides a way to move through them without being consumed by them.
What to expect
You don’t need to be experienced, spiritual, or ‘good’ at breathing. Breathwork is simply about showing up, being guided, and noticing what happens.
​
-
Sessions are gentle, structured, and designed for all levels.
-
You’ll be guided the whole way - there’s no ‘right’ way to do it.
-
It’s a no-pressure space - you take what works for you.
-
Complete a session on your own or with a friend.
