Some forms of breathwork are contra-indicated during pregnancy it is recommended that pregnant women talk to their physicians and breathwork teachers before doing breathwork.The hyperventilation syndrome: a neurosis or a manifestation of magnesium imbalance?

The effect of breathing techniques on the end-tidal percentage of carbon dioxide and its importance during labor. Thanks for reading about tetany and breathwork! References and Sources Sodium leaks into nerve cells and makes them hyper-excitable, resulting in tingling and – when moreĮxtreme – muscle spasms in the extremities and around the mouth.Low CO2 causes tetany because it reduces cellular calcium and increases blood PH.**For the science geeks like Tanya who need a little more detail: Get checked for these imbalances if high-risk (e.g., pregnant or lactating, on diuretics, high alcohol intake, long-term inhaler use).Consider whether any of above mineral imbalances may be applicable.During breathwork: slow down the breathing, reduce the forcefulness or duration of exhales (just lightly “let go” of breath), move/massage hands or other body parts experiencing tetany.How can you avoid this or help those you teach to avoid it? Electrolyte deficiencies due to long-term inhaler use (i.e., for asthma or COPD) (12).Parathyroid hormone (PTH) deficiency (8,9).Low magnesium (2,3,4,5) – more likely during pregnancy(6) or lactation, use of diuretics, or high alcohol consumption (4).This can happen during breathwork when we hyperventilate and breathe really fast or exhale too forcefully or too much – so the rate or volume of breathing eliminates more CO2 then the body can produce.(1) Tetany is more likely in people with underlying mineral imbalances, including: Simply said, tetany is the involuntary contraction of muscles that occurs when CO2 decreases significantly in the body. Since these explanations never satisfied us, we did some investigating and discovered scientific answers that – in our opinions – make more sense. Solutions involve spiritual self-exploration such as asking what we’re holding onto or exploring our fears.
Many breathwork teachers explain tetany as caused by holding onto unconscious, “stuck” energy or the need for control. Known as tetany and described by many as “lobster claw” hands, this phenomenon can occur in different types of breathwork such as holotropic, rebirthing, transformational, Wim Hof Method (WHM), and others.
Why Do My Hands Curl When I’m Hyperventilating During Breathwork?ĭuring active breathwork practices, some people experience hyperventilation and their hands curl or they have cramping and tightness in the hands or around the mouth.
