The frequency of breathwork practice depends on individual goals, the specific technique used, and personal schedule. Here are some general guidelines:

For basic relaxation techniques:

  • Daily practice: 5-10 minutes, once or twice a day, can be beneficial for stress management and overall well-being.
  • Integrate into routine: Practice during natural breaks or before stressful situations.

For more intensive techniques:

  • 2-3 times per week: 15-30 minute sessions for techniques like box breathing or alternate nostril breathing.
  • Weekly: Longer sessions (30-60 minutes) for more advanced practices like holotropic breathwork.

For beginners:

  • Start with 5 minutes daily, gradually increasing duration and frequency.
  • Consistency is key – regular, shorter sessions are often more beneficial than infrequent, longer ones.

Always listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Some people may benefit from multiple short sessions throughout the day, while others prefer one longer session. It’s also important to follow guidelines for specific techniques, especially more intense ones, to avoid overexertion.
