Breathwork Therapy
As incredible as it may seem, nearly every human on the planet could benefit from Breathwork Therapy.
Without full awareness of breathing, there can be no development of meditative stability and understanding. –Thich Nhat Hanh
At Altru Integrated Health in Colorado Springs, we combine Breathwork, Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness to create a potent approach to well-being. This integrative therapy effectively addresses a range of challenges, including PTSD, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and anger. Having witnessed firsthand the transformative power of simple breathwork practices, it’s evident that this modality can benefit nearly everyone. By harmonizing breath with the nervous system, Breathwork offers a natural pathway to cleanse the body and mind from environmental and stress-related toxins.
Breathwork is a game-changer for sports performance. By harnessing the power of breath, we unlock untapped potential. Our approach, rooted in the Buteyko method, goes beyond traditional techniques. We’ve refined our practices to deliver unparalleled results, optimizing athletes’ performance and recovery.
Mindfulness, stress relief and the ability to meet situations with presence is a natural by-product. Mindfulness, stress reduction, and the ability to meet life’s challenges with presence are natural outcomes of our breathwork practice. You’ll learn to consciously override automatic responses, cultivating heightened awareness in your daily life and relationships.
Bridging ancient wisdom with modern science is the key to our transformative breathwork. Our breathwork practitioner spent half a decade with a Yogi learning Pranayama, studying ancient teachings, texts and Sanskrit. By delving into the underlying science, Mytchell uncovered subtle ways to optimize these age-old techniques. Today he brings decades of combined learning to each personalized session.
