Also called coherence, ceremonial, or rhythmic breathwork - transformational breathwork activates the limbic system, which is the part of the brain responsible for emotion, memory, and motivation. When we breathe in an intentional, rhythmic way, we bypass the thinking mind and tap into stored emotional patterns held deep in the body. This can lead to powerful releases as the nervous system lets go of old stress and trauma. Many people describe it as clearing space for more presence, ease, and self-trust.
