What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a form of active meditation with roots in ancient Indian pranayama (the study of the breath). Using a 2 stage breath with the guidance of a facilitator, the breather floods their brain with oxygen to stimulate the hypothalamus gland to release endorphins, energy, emotions, and provides a unique setting to release the nervous system. By releasing, we are better able to integrate our complex human experience. This powerful practice leaves us feeling lighter, spacious, and deeply relaxed after. These sessions are active, and end with a deep rest with some hands on touch to facilitate release. This modality is safe for anyone, and highly transformative! Sessions are done one on one or in group settings.
Who is Breathwork For?
those in recovery (it perfectly complements any 12 step wok and is gaining traction in the recovery world)
those with chronic stress and stress related disorders
survivors of trauma and PTSD
pregnant women at the discretion of the pregnant woman herself
those struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, self-hatred, and depression
those with chronic pain, joint pain, and chronic fatigue
anyone looking to release or gain clarity around tension, stress, and anxiety, body dysmorphia, circular thinking, and stories we tell ourselves to survive.
anyone trying to navigate the modern world and systems of oppression such as misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the patriarchy. While these systems are big and deeply ingrained in our culture, the many ways in which these systems are internalized and damaging is something we can face with breathwork.
