THE WORK

Breathwork uses a two-part breath to move you quickly out of your head and into your body. The breath is active and continuous. Most people find it demanding at first. It gets easier to stay with.

What comes up is different every time and different for every person. Some sessions are quiet. Some are not. Tears, shaking, laughing, and a long stillness are all common, and none of them are the goal. The breath does what it does. Your work is to stay with it.

THE EXPERIENCE

We move through three parts. A long stretch of active two-part breath, a period of rest and a slow recovery with music. You are on a mat with a bolster and a blanket. You are guided the whole way through, and you can stop at any point.

Come with a light stomach. Wear something you can breathe in. Plan for an unhurried hour afterward. 

BEFORE YOU START

Two-part breathwork is physically active and is not right for everyone. Please talk with your doctor first, and let me know before class, if any of the following apply to you: pregnancy, heart conditions or high blood pressure, aneurysm, recent stroke, epilepsy or a history of seizures, glaucoma or retinal detachment, recent surgery, osteoporosis, severe asthma, or if you are currently under psychiatric care or have a history of bipolar disorder, psychosis, or psychiatric hospitalization. This practice is not a substitute for medical or mental health care and is not a treatment for any condition.
