What is breathwork?

Breathwork is a set of breathing techniques that are used individually or in sequence to have a specific effect on the body and mind - calming, balancing or activating. It includes yogic breathing exercises (pranayama), as well as different modern practices.
It is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment, but it can complement therapeutic or personal development work.

Is breathwork safe for everybody?

Although everyone can practice breathwork, some health conditions might limit the recommended types of exercises or their rhythm. That is why before your first session or event you will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire, to ensure safety and comfort at all times.

What are the potential benefits of breathwork?

Depending on the set of techniques used, a breathwork session might help you reduce stress or increase your energy levels. In general, breathwork contributes to nervous system regulation, stress amangement, increased focus and mental clarity, emotional processing, and improve interoceptive awareness (sensing internal body signals). With breathwork, you can discover simple tools that you can use to switch your mindset or improve physical performance in a few minutes amidst your usual daily activities, as well as experience states of expanded consciousness to do a deep dive into your emotions, past experiences, or desires.

Do you offer both in-person and online sessions?

Yes. Individual, as well as group sessions are available in both formats. For groups over 5 people, I recommend an in-person sessions, if possible.

What do I need for an online session?

To participate/organize an online session, I recommend that you ensure a stable internet connection, as well as an adequate sound solution (preferably with headphones, so that you or your participants feel more immersed in the practice). A laptop is preferred over a mobile phone. No specific software is needed and if you have a preferred platform (Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, etc), please let me know. Finally, I recommend that you find a quiet and comfortable place so that the communication throughout the session runs smoothly and your practice is not interrupted.
