Breathwork for teenagers offers a range of physical, emotional, and mental benefits that can help support their overall well-being and development.
BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK FOR TEENS
Firstly, it helps reduce stress by triggering the body's relaxation response and promoting calmness, which is particularly valuable as teenagers often face academic and social pressures. Secondly, Breathwork fosters emotional regulation, enabling teenagers to better manage their feelings and build emotional resilience during the tumultuous years of adolescence. Additionally, it enhances focus and concentration, supports improved decision-making, and fosters self-awareness by encouraging mindfulness.
Furthermore, Breathwork aids in achieving better sleep, an issue many teenagers grapple with, by calming the mind and reducing nighttime anxiety.
Coping Mechanism: Adolescents can benefit from having healthy coping mechanisms to deal with the challenges of adolescence. Breathwork can serve as a constructive way to manage stress and emotional turmoil without resorting to harmful behaviors.

TEENAGER FEEDBACK…
I felt really cleansing and I felt really calm after… it really helped me
~ Ruby-Flower, Age 16, Pottsville, NSW Australia
It was great to do a Breathwork session with Amanda as her voice is very soothing and the music helps you keep in time with the breathing. It was the most relaxed I’ve felt in a while.
~ Molly, Age 16, Byron Bay, NSW Australia
I found it surprisingly relaxing, I was probably looking for something like this for a long time. I was surprised with something probably not a very mainstream idea but it felt right at the time the timing felt right… I’ll probably do more of it
