BREATHWORK
AND BODYWORK
Breathwork and different breathing techniques are methods used to reduce stress, anxiety and tension in the body.
The techniques helps to free you from deep-seated subconscious, repressed emotions that are getting in your way.
Breathwork contributes to increased well-being, self-awareness, enjoyment of life and personal development.
The theories behind are based on the idea that we can influence our nervous system by regulating and alternating our breathing in order to achieve greater well-being.
Scientifically there are several mechanisms through which liberating breathing can affect our body and mind.
Jarno Kinnunen
During a challenging period in his life in 2017, Jarno began searching for more balance in his life.
What had been reality and his way of doing things in life for many years was gone and no longer worked.
Now it was time to go outside the box…
In the search for a more sustainable existence, he dived in and tried various practices for physical and mental balance and well-being.
The first thing he fell into was a beginner’s course in kundalini yoga. It was held in an apartment in Guldheden in Gothenburg. There were 5 participants and a fantastic teacher. Kundaliniyoga made a huge impact on him and this practice is very close to his heart.
During that time, a series of coincidences led him to in to a tantra workshop in Gothenburg.
The discovery of Tantra made him really start the inner expansion… He realized that there are several paths one can take in this life!
Through tantra he then found Breathwork which had a profound positive impact on life, energy, creativity and his mental, emotional and physical state.
He realized that by cultivating and harmonizing his energies, he could improve his focus, creativity and overall well-being.
Sharing this discovery and these techniques with others has become a mission and passion for him.
Jarno’s facilitation is characterized by his grounded, balanced, strong, permissive, and soft masculine presence, creating a place of safety and trust for you as a client or participant to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.

Effects on the nervous system
Our breathing affects the autonomic nervous system, which regulates our body’s functions without us having to consciously control them.
This nervous system has two main components: the sympathetic nervous system, which is active during stress and fight-or-flight situations, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is active during rest and recovery.
Deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a feeling of relaxation and calm.
Reducing stress hormones
By using different breathing techniques, we can reduce the levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline. This can help reduce the physical and psychological stress we feel.
Increased oxygen intake
Breathwork often involves deep and conscious breathing, which leads to an increased supply of oxygen to the body. This helps the body’s cells and organs work more efficiently and can reduce feelings of fatigue and mental fog.
Improved blood circulation
By regulating and altering our breathing in different ways, we can affect our blood circulation, including increasing blood flow to our muscles and organs. This can help reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Influence on brain activity
Research shows that breathing techniques, meditation and mindfulness affects brain activity.
By regulating your breathing can increase activity in areas of the brain associated with relaxation and well-being, while decreasing activity in areas linked to stress and anxiety.
