What is breathwork?

Breathwork is an intentional practice of breathing done lying down while staying present in your body. This gentle approach supports physical, emotional and spiritual well-being where unprocessed experiences can be integrated, old patterns can let go, and a new intentional way of being can grow. This practice invites you home to yourself.

​

The physical benefits of breathwork include nervous system regulation, detoxification, stress reduction, increased lung capacity and organ massage. Unprocessed trauma may gradually and gently unwind with the support of a qualified facilitator. Other benefits include the integration and release of unprocessed and suppressed emotions and memories that may present as emotional, physical or energetic pain or stagnation.

 

Breathwork has also been known to provide transcendent, profound spiritual experiences.​ It honours the sacred within you ... the beauty, the light, the magnificent while also holding and integrating the shadow, the broken, and the exiled in order to come to wholeness.

​

It invites you into a deeper connection with yourself and with life. 

​

What does it entail?

The practice is done lying down for approximately 45 - 60 minutes where one will breathe in a relaxed, continuous and circular rhythm. The role of the facilitator is to support the breather to find a relaxed and open breath pattern through gentle hands-on facilitation, presence and verbal guidance. As this is a trauma-informed approach, permission is requested before any hands-on work, and adaptations can be made at any time upon the breather's request.
