BREATHWORK...
For human beings, breath is a major source of our energy supply. We take around 16-17 breaths per minute. We breathe in about 10,000 liters of oxygen per day, oxygenating 27 trillion cells. Due to poor breathing habits, limiting beliefs, past big & little traumatic experiences, the average person only uses 1 liter of their 6-7 liter lung capacity. Most of us breathe short, shallow, irregular breaths, which is a very ineffective way to breathe because it increases internal stress, confusion, fatigue, illness-- all of which leads to less vitality! In a breathwork session, our breath is guided back to its natural state. Watch how young children breathe! They FILL THEIR BELLIES with air. They experience a full breath cycle, no inhibitions. It is relaxed, rhythmic, flowing.
Breathwork Sessions are offered in 2 ways:
Option 1) Learn 8-10 breathwork techniques to use/integrate into your meditation practice or for adding tools to the tool box. Each technique will be demonstrated and explained, and then you will be guided through a practice of each, this session ends with a short guided meditation for integration. BOOK ONLINE!
Option 2) Conscious connected breathwork promotes whole body integration of our physical, emotional, & mental states of being. We boost the flow of energy in our bodies, increasing our vibration, opening the door to receive visions, messages from our body and even altered states of consciousness. Significant events from any time in our lives can come to the surface, helping us gain valuable insights into our lives, get clarity, let go, move forward, unwind, reframe. When these experiences initially occurred, such as in childhood where we form most of our foundational beliefs, we may draw conclusions about ourselves that define us and the world in a limiting way, without conscious thought. Revisiting them in breathwork can help us recognize & then drop those narratives and reclaim lost parts of ourselves, restoring our sense of wholeness and expanding possibilities for our lives! These classes are limited in availability at this time, but will be posted HERE!

Breathwork rapidly but temporarily reduces CO2 and oxygen delivery to the tissues and suppresses activity in frontal cortex of the brain. In the blood, alkalinity increases and calcium decreases. Sensory and motor neurons begin to fire more rapidly, which can feel like tingling sensations and cramping.
These are the effects of hyperventilation, however hyperventilation usually denotes a loss of control whereas Conscious Connected Breathwork is done with intent. This makes the difference. Instead of a negative experience, breathwork is a practice which can be incredibly therapeutic.
Although it can initially feel intense, Connected Breathwork ultimately leads to good results. The temporary alterations of the body chemistry are not harmful to the body, and are in fact, shown to have positive physical benefits as well. Before attempting breathwork, you may want to check with your doctor if you have non-medicated high blood pressure or have been diagnosed with psychosis.
