Preparing for a breathwork session is key to ensuring a transformative and comfortable experience. Here’s how you can get ready:
Set Your Intention: Spend some time connecting to your “why” before the session. Reflect on what you hope to gain or release during this experience, as setting a clear intention can guide your breathwork journey.
Avoid Eating Beforehand: It’s best to avoid eating at least an hour prior to your session. Breathwork is most effective on an empty stomach, as this helps you avoid discomfort, such as stomach aches or cramps.
Create Your Space: If a virtual or digital class, set up your room to feel cozy, safe, and free from distractions. Consider using candles, crystals, incense, or anything that brings you comfort and grounding. The goal is to create an environment that feels inviting and supportive for your practice.
Comfortable Setup: Sessions are done lying flat on a surface like a yoga mat, bed, or couch. Position your camera so that your face to hips are visible, allowing your facilitator to guide and support you effectively. Use a thin or ergonomic pillow to keep your neck aligned for optimal breathing. Placing a pillow under your knees can also add to your comfort.
Stay Warm and Focused: Keep a blanket nearby in case you feel cold, and consider using an eye mask to help you turn inward during the session. Headphones are recommended for the best sound experience, especially during virtual sessions.
Wear Relaxed Clothing: Choose loose, non-restrictive clothing that allows for free movement and ease of breath.

Our breathwork sessions are structured to guide you through a journey of self-discovery and healing. Each session is tailored to you. Here’s what you can generally expect:
The Session: You’ll begin by lying flat on a comfortable surface. With guidance, we will begin with an opening & grounding intro, then we’ll create a foundation of safety with breathing techniques, physical sensations, tools to support you (~10 minutes), then you’ll be guided into a meditation and intentional breathing techniques while exploring your intention for the session (~30-45 minutes). The experience may bring up emotions, sensations, or clarity—it’s all part of the process. Using headphones (for virtual sessions) enhances the experience with immersive sound.
Post-Session Integration: Integration is a crucial part of your breathwork journey. After the session, take time to process what came up for you. Journaling, meditating, or talking to a trusted loved one or your facilitator can help solidify the insights and emotions experienced. We will allot time (~15-30 minutes) at the end of the session to talk about your journey.
Reflect and Nurture: Over the next few days, continue to reflect on your session. Contemplating your experiences, staying hydrated, and allowing yourself to rest will help you integrate the transformation.
Intention + Breath Journey + Integration = Transformation
Breathwork isn’t just about the session itself—it’s about the continued growth and clarity that follow. Feel free to text or reach out with any questions or reflections!
