Come Home To Yourself Through Breath

In-person group breathwork to heal, awaken, reclaim your inner spark.

Most of us, if we’re lucky, take breathing for granted. The breath comes and goes, entering and leaving the body without much effort or thought. 

But the breath can also be a powerful tool. 

When shaped and directed with intention and care, the breath becomes an energy that moves life – opening, releasing, expanding, allowing – making space for your wholeness to return. 

WHY DO BREATHWORK?

Quiet your mind. Open your heart. Ground into spirit.

Breathing at a pace that’s different from your typical daily rhythm forces the linear thinking mind to loosen its grip. 

Its need for certainty and control softens. 

Habits of reaction and thought unwind. 

A new space opens within body and mind for awareness that’s been dormant or repressed to emerge. 

Benefits include, but are certainly not limited to: 

  • Enhanced insight, clarity, or a shift in perspective, perhaps around a difficult memory or challenge

  • Greater access to creativity, intuition, imagination, and/or a sense of spirit or something larger than/beyond your self

  • Feelings of grace, forgiveness (for self or other), gratitude, joy, awe, wonder, abundance, beauty, and more

  • A sense of returning to your true self, reclaiming a part or parts that have been disconnected or lost

  • Improved vitality, release of stuck or stored emotion, sensations of opening and ease in your physical body

Breath is the connector, connecting us to atmosphere, and the lungs hug the heart – quite literally...We are safe again to live. Traumas come loose and release. Stress does the same. Old emotions clear. The heart opens because we are suddenly living inside sacred space.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Let the breath show you something new.

While we all share the same air, the breath moves within each of us differently. And, no two breathwork journeys are the same. Your experience will differ from the people around you, and from one session to the next. 

You may experience deep stillness and calm in one session, and a more fiery activation of physical or emotional energy in another. 

Insights and sensations may come flooding in, and they may quietly unfold over days or weeks. 

You may feel an urge to shake, sing, cry, smile, sing, laugh. You may not feel much at all while energy shifts below the surface. 

This is all completely normal and part of the opening and reclaiming experience.

In each two-hour session, you can expect: 

  • A beautiful indoor space with plenty of room to comfortably rest and unwind. 

  • To be guided within a safe, respectful container.

  • Approximately 20 minutes of active breathing and 10 minutes of relaxation and recharge.

  • A dynamic, curated playlist. 

  • Space for sharing as desired.

  • Support to trust whatever shows up for you. There’s no one “right” way to breathe. 

  • Come as you are. No prior experience is required. 

QUESTIONS + ANSWERS

  • Yoga mats and blankets are provided but you are welcome to bring your own. Please bring a water bottle. If you think you’d like to use an eye mask or bolster for added support, you may bring those, too.

  • Wear loose clothing in which you can comfortably move, sit, and lay down. Body temperature can fluctuate during breathwork so dressing in layers is advised. 

  • While I will provide a short tutorial before the session and offer cues along the way, you really can’t do it wrong. This breathwork practice is an exploration, dedicated time just for you.
