Breathwork covers a range of therapeutic techniques designed to increase an individual's physical and mental well being. These techniques look to improve the awareness of breathing habits, and in some cases attempt to consciously change the way an individual takes in and expels air.
English language sites that concern themselves with describing or teaching breath techniques belong here or in the appropriate sub category. Any sites that look upon breathing as a means to spiritual enlightenment should be submitted here instead:

Rebirthing, also known as Conscious Breathing, is a technique originally developed by Leonard Orr in the 1970s. It became well known in the succeeding decade through its use in Loving Relationship Training workshops.
The technique postulates that by learning to breathe consciously and fully results in a physical cleansing, and that the mental and emotional origins of tension can then be healed. While it was originally focussed on reliving the birth process, it is now concerned with addressing any unhealed life experiences.
Sites submitted here should provide information about the theory or practice of Rebirthing.
