Have you ever cringed seeing how someone disconnects an external hard-drive from a computer without ejecting it?
Or do you stay up late at night looking at your smartphone or computer screen and then catch yourself complaining about not being able to sleep deeply?
We can notice the same pattern. Although it may not seem like such a big deal at the time, if you continue repeating it over and over, something considerably detrimental might happen.
The same often happens with the body. You keep doing stuff to your body, and it takes years or decades for an injury to develop. And once it happens, it’s impossible to undo. It could have been prevented.

With regular practice, anyone can build an understanding of one’s limitations and develop skills to utilize muscles in such a way that supports and protects the joints.
Intentionally intensifying the breathing makes it appear to be easier to push through the challenge because of the Fight-or-Flight response (and likely HPA axis) activation. Endorphin release makes one feel euphoric.
Though it can appear to feel very good, you pay with the loss of pain sensitivity and increased stress and allostatic load.
Moreover, the majority of people living a contemporary life, especially in urban environments, are already very stressed.
The Baseworks approach trains anyone to notice the effects of stress, and to modify the intensity of the practice to best fit personal condition for more optimal gains.
Natural breathing is key to maintaining a higher level of concentration.
