What does a Breathwork session look like?
A Breathwork session begins with a discussion about your goals and overall sense of well-being. After an assessment there is a guided personalized practice with the aim of bringing your body, mind and spirit into greater harmony and more optimized health. A typical practice may include some mindful movement to facilitate greater connection to the breath. From there, we can focus on specific breathing exercises that bring your body, mind and spirit into greater harmony. An outline for a home practice that honors your needs, interests and time constraints is provided at the end of your session so that you feel empowered to use the tools on your own at home if you are so inspired. As your body and mind heal and come back to a state of harmony, your breathing practice can be updated as needed in order to ensure further growth and transformation.
