Breathwork is the practice of choosing a pattern of breath for a certain period of time. By consciously altering breathing patterns, individuals can influence their nervous system, potentially reducing anxiety, stress, depression and promoting relaxation. Breathwork offers support for us on all levels of our being, including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
​
Breathwork can also:
-
increase energy
-
lower blood pressure
-
reduce chronic pain
-
increase mental clarity and focus
-
support managing PTSD and trauma symptoms
-
build emotional resilience
-
help to foster a deeper sense of self awareness, connection and well-being.​
The SAGE Upstate program will be uniquely tailored to support, resource and empower members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially during these changing and challenging times.
