SLEEP Breathwork is a simple yet powerful tool for improving sleep quality by calming the nervous system and guiding the body into a restful state. Through conscious, controlled breathing — especially techniques that promote slow nasal breathing and activate the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response — breathwork helps lower stress hormones, reduce nighttime overthinking, and support deeper, more restorative sleep. It can be especially helpful for those who struggle with falling asleep, waking frequently, or feeling tired even after a full night’s rest.
Breathwork can be a valuable support for those managing respiratory disorders such as asthma, COPD, or chronic hyperventilation. By focusing on gentle, efficient breathing patterns, breathwork helps retrain the respiratory system to function more optimally.
Penny assists clients to reduce over-breathing, increase carbon dioxide tolerance, and improve oxygen delivery to cells, which can ease symptoms like breathlessness, wheezing, and chest tightness. With regular practice, individuals often experience improved lung function, greater control over their breathing, and a reduced reliance on dysfunctional patterns that may worsen symptoms.
Breathwork doesn’t replace medical treatment but can be a powerful complementary tool for improving quality of life and breathing ease.
Breathwork is a game-changer for athletic performance, helping athletes train smarter, recover faster, and perform at their peak. By improving breathing efficiency and increasing tolerance to carbon dioxide, techniques can enhance oxygen delivery to muscles, boost endurance, and delay fatigue. Breathwork also sharpens mental focus and helps regulate the nervous system, allowing athletes to stay calm and composed under pressure.
