Join us on April 30th 10AM ET for a free webinar hosted by the Global Wellness Institute as our GWI Breathe Initiative member, Devin Lebrun, CEO & Co-Founder, Global Breath Network shares his new research on “The State of Breath.”
The State of the Breath Report is a comprehensive overview of breathwork as an efficacious tool for improving physical health, neurological function and regulation. It traces the practice from ancient cultural traditions like Pranayama and Qigong to modern clinical intervention, general health and wellness, and human performance. Breathwork’s physiological mechanisms are evaluated, specifically how controlling the diaphragm, breath pathway, frequency, and patterns can modulate the autonomic nervous system and improve heart rate variability. Furthermore, it explores the economic landscape, highlighting a multi-billion-dollar wellness market and the potential for breathwork to enhance mental and physical health, workplace productivity and athletic performance.
Despite a need for more standardized research and regulation, the report suggests that deliberate training of breath is a low-cost, high-impact solution for improved health and human performance in modern society.
