When embarking on a transformational journey such as conscious connected breathwork, it’s important to be aware of the contraindications. While breathwork is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing, it’s not recommended for everyone. Here are the primary contraindications to be aware of:

People with cardiovascular problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, history of stroke, aneurysms, or other circulatory system issues should consult their physician before participating in breathwork practices.

Individuals with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory diseases should consult a healthcare professional before starting breathwork practices.

Mental Health Conditions

Individuals with severe psychiatric symptoms, particularly psychosis or severe anxiety.

Pregnant individuals, particularly those in their second or third trimester, should consult their doctor before starting breathwork practices.

 

If you’ve recently had surgery or a physical injury, especially to the chest or abdominal area, it’s advised to wait until you’ve fully recovered before starting breathwork.

 

People with epilepsy or a history of seizures should consult their healthcare provider before.

 

These contraindications are for your safety. It’s essential that you consult with a healthcare professional if any of these conditions apply to you. Please remember that your health and well-being are paramount and that breathwork, like any other healing practice, should be approached with care and respect for your body’s limits.
