<p>In this episode of Wellness, Questioned, Katie and Annabel explore the complexities of breathwork and its commercialisation in modern wellness practices. Throughout the episode they discuss how traditional practices like Pranayama are often simplified and sold as one-size-fits-all solutions, potentially stripping away important context and lineage. The conversation also touches on the importance of understanding individual breath needs and the impact of breath practices on anxiety and sports performance.</p><p>(0:48) Exploring breathwork and Pranayama<br>(4:40) Modern practices losing cultural context<br>(9:45) Breathwork in yoga and sports<br>(15:03) Teaching breathwork<br>(22:08) Practical advice for breathwork<br>(24:07) Season Three Wrap-Up</p>The wellness industry is as weird and wild as ever, with more of us looking to alternative ways to stay healthy and improve our wellness.
