Inhale through the mouth into your hips, then your belly, then your chest. When you are full of air, relax, let the exhale happen. No need to help the exhale just let it happen. As soon as you are done exhaling immediately inhale. Every breath is connected. 

The speed or tempo of your breathing doesn’t really matter. Eventually your body will find the pace it likes. Some people breath really slow (like 3 breaths per minute) some people breath really fast. Like a breath a second. 

You guide the depth and power of your experience through your breath. The tempo and depth of your breath will match your personality and your life.

Breathwork taps into the energy that gives you life. As you start to connect with your breath your body will feel like it is coming alive with energy. It’s also very common at some point during the session to feel like you are being pushed up against some resistance (stuck or stagnant energy) that might show up in the form of tightness, tensions , or emotional releases. By advice? Keep breathing, you want to get that energy moving. 

Here are some common feelings and reactions the body can experience throughout your session:

Vibration – It is very common for the body to begin vibrating either all over or in certain areas, depending on where energy is moving.

Emotions – we get to the source of  your emotions. With the breathwork practice, we are bypassing the conscious fear and emotional barriers that are stuck. It may be momentarily uncomfortable.  Lean in to the discomfort. We are here for a cure. Not soothing. 

Temperature Fluctuations – it is normal for your body temperature to fluctuate from hot to cold as energy is either accepted, rejected or given away. 

Body Stiffening – The body can tighten and contract in places that commonly hold stress and emotions.  

• Mouth
• Lips
• Hands (Tetany)
• arms 
• Legs 
• Feet
• Hips
• Abdomen 
• (Basically the whole body)

Movement – during the session your body may shake, vibrate, move around. Listen to your body! Sometimes people even dance. 

Releases – you may feel the need to release energy through crying, laughing, screaming. We support you. 

You may experience some of these or you may experience none. 

Every experience is different. 

Know that all of these experiences are temporary and you can use your breath to move through them. 

With breathwork you can always increase or decrease the intensity for your comfort, it it becomes to intense you can just relax the breath. Everything that happens here is for your benefit. 

Any resistance you feel is an opportunity to receive a message from your body. 

It’s completely normal to be nervous the first time you try something. I was nervous the first time I went to the opera. How do I get in where is the tickets? Will everyone be nice or will they look down on me. So let’s explore why are you nervous.

During my first breathwork session nothing happened. And I mean NOTHING. Why because the instructor was used to dealing with people who were ‘sensitive’ and didn’t need much instruction. I’m not sensitive. I will guide you exactly through the process and what you need to do. You will know exactly what you need to do and you don’t need to worry about anything else.

One of our members recently told me, “Everyone here is so AWESOME.” I nodded slowly and replied, “Eventually.”  Eventually? Yeah trust me buddy everyone who walks through that door for the first time is dealing with something. And at first they can be a little difficult. But eventually they discover their true self. And with that knowledge they are AWESOME.

Great. That’s literally what you are here for. The difference between a good movie and a great move is the emotion it brings up in you. Breathwork can be an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows. But it almost always ends on a high. 

Ultimately you are in control of how intense your experience becomes. It’s your breath. Breathwork allows you to access the deepest core of your true self.

When new people come to breathwork 149 out of 150 have some level of elevated consciousness experience. 

My favorite story was a friend telling me nothing happened. I asked if he remembered me shaking his shoulder and asking him if he was ready for the next segment. He didn’t remember it. Yeah i physically shook you, asked if you wanted to continue but you didn’t respond. You were gone. Oh. So I guess something did happen. Now that you mention it I do recall a bunch of fractals and colors.
