How does Breathwork Help Reduce Stress and Anxiety?

Updated: Jun 23


Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s "rest and digest" mode — which helps slow your heart rate, lower cortisol (stress hormone), and bring calmness to your mind.


By shifting from shallow, chest breathing to deep belly breathing, you signal safety to your brain, which reduces anxious thoughts and physical tension.


Here’s how it helps:

  • Calms your nervous system in minutes

  • Improves focus and emotional control

  • Helps release trapped energy or trauma


Breathtribe Tip: Start with 5 minutes of slow nasal breathing — inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds. Do this daily to build emotional resilience.
