What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is an umbrella term for many different types of practices and a practice itself. The type of breathwork I facilitate is based in Pranayama, which is the art and science of yogic breathing techniques used since the origins of yoga.

• The consistent practice strengthens our lung capacity, prepares the mind for deep mediation and cultivates greater intensity of prana, or life force, within and around us

• When we work with our breath, we are working with the subconscious nervous system to breath through past patterns and elevate our health

What should I expect during a session?

We will spend time in the beginning of the session looking at what is present in the relationship and engaging in some dialogue between partners. We will then move into the active two-part breathwork practice where you are your partner will breathe together lying down. We will have time at the end to share anything that may have come up or need to be processed.

What are some of the benefits of Breathwork?

There are really too many to name. However, from my experience, the most powerful have been clarity, stress relief, anxiety relief, trauma resolution, deeper connection to my body and to others.

What should I expect after a session?

It can be uncomfortable, freeing, joyful, tearful, clarifying, loving, and so much more, but ultimately it is the experience of embodiment which can only be felt. It will differ for every individual and pair. Your intention for the practice will guide the practice and its outcome.

Breathwork is never meant to take the place of medical/therapeutic care.
