Quiet Breathwork Over Gym: The "No-Sweat Calm" Trend Gains Ground

• Structured breathwork is gaining attention as a quieter alternative to intense gym workouts, offering physiological benefits without exhaustion.
• Pulmonologists note that lungs may respond better to slow, controlled breathing, improving efficiency without straining joints or heart.
• Deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety, and improving sleep for urban dwellers.
• Breathwork is a practical way to train the nervous system, shifting the body from 'alert mode' to 'recovery mode' and improving breath control.
• Experts emphasize breathwork supports movement, not replaces it; regular physical activity is still crucial for stamina and metabolic health.
