Meditation Not for You? Try Breathwork. Here’s Why.

It’s a common misconception that breathwork and meditation are similar practices, but while both are rooted in the notion of slowing down and being more mindful, there are a lot of differences.

“Oftentimes, someone like myself will hear, ‘Oh, it’s like meditation and I don’t meditate well,’ but since breathing is something we do everyday automatically, building a Breathwork practice can be an easy, accessible alternative for optimal wellbeing,” says Jenn Warwick, certified breathwork coach and founder of Breathe for Life, based in Fairfield County, CT, who teaches clients how to harness the power of an act they are performing 24/7 without even thinking about it.
