Sigh is a natural long exhale that discharges tension, encouraged rather than suppressed.
The body already knows this one. In 📝Breathwork a sigh is allowed in the room and sometimes invited: a drop of the shoulders on the way out. It is not a performance and not a medical event. A 📝physiological sigh is the structured cousin — two in, one long out — used when a faster downshift is needed.
Clients often apologize for sighing. The practitioner treats it as the nervous system doing its job. If sighs turn into gasping or tingling, the breath is too big — back to the nose, slower.
