Contraindications & Safety Precautions
Slow, rhythmic breathing techniques are generally safe for most people.
Breath holds should NOT be practiced in any of the following cases:
1. Recent surgery
2. Epilepsy
3. Pregnancy in the third trimester
4. Serious heart conditions (e.g. pacemaker, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or recent heart attack)
In most other cases, the practice is considered safe.
We invite you to listen to your body, reduce the intensity if needed, or skip breath holds at any time.
Safety: Always practice seated or lying down. Never in water, never while driving.
