Breathwork has become increasingly visible in contemporary health, wellbeing and personal development. But what actually happens when we change the way we breathe? What does the research tell us? How do different approaches to breathwork differ? And how can breathwork be used safely and meaningfully within therapeutic practice? This website provides a growing resource for exploring these questions, alongside the development, practice and research of Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy (GRMT).
