BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK

  • REDUCES STRESS.

    Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s natural relaxation response — reducing cortisol levels, lowering heart rate, and calming the mind. Just a few minutes of conscious breathing can shift the body out of “fight or flight” and into a state of safety and ease.

  • ENHANCES MOOD.

    Intentional breathwork increases oxygen flow to the brain, helping to rebalance neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. This can lift mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster emotional resilience — naturally.

  • IMPROVES SLEEP.

    Slow, rhythmic breathing helps regulate circadian rhythms and lowers nighttime arousal in the nervous system. It supports melatonin production, reduces racing thoughts, and prepares the body for deeper, more restorative sleep.

  • INCREASES ENERGY.

    Conscious breathing enhances cellular oxygenation and boosts circulation. Breathwork also helps clear stagnant energy from the body, leading to sharper focus, greater vitality, and a grounded sense of aliveness — without the crash of caffeine or stimulants.

FAQ

  • Every inhale and exhale sends a message to your body. Slow, conscious breathing tells the nervous system: You’re safe now. It tones the vagus nerve, increases heart rate variability (HRV), and supports regulation — helping you move from survival mode into restoration.

  • Yes. Breath can open up stored emotions, memories, and patterns — without forcing anything. At SUR—UNDER, you are guided gently, with permission to feel or not feel. The body decides what it's ready to release. The breath simply creates space.

  • That’s perfectly okay. Regulation isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes the most profound work is subtle — a softened jaw, a deeper exhale, a moment of stillness. Every breath is doing something, even if you don’t notice it right away.

  • Both. Breathwork is grounded in nervous system science — but also invites moments of deep presence, insight, and connection beyond words. Some call it regulation. Some call it remembering. We simply call it breath.

  • Yes. Breath reconnects you to your baseline. When your system has been in overdrive — due to work, parenting, trauma, or overstimulation — breath offers a non-verbal way back to stability. It doesn’t require explanation, only participation.
