Bi-weekly Breathwork

Breathwork is a profound tool for cleansing the soul and to unlocking healing on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. During our sessions, you’ll use intentional breathing techniques to access and release stored stresses, traumas, and unresolved emotions, creating a deeper connection between body and mind. This practice encourages neuroplasticity, promoting emotional awareness, reducing stress, enhancing focus, and supporting overall well-being. By tapping into the body’s innate wisdom, Breathwork opens the path to profound personal growth, resilience, and transformation

• A private, quiet space where you can lay down comfortably and fully relax

• A blanket to keep cozy during the session

• A journal for insights or reflections

• Water or tea to stay hydrated

• Tissues, just in case

• Headphones, if you prefer better sound quality

Ideally, create a space where you feel safe and comfortable, allowing yourself to express fully and connect deeply with your breath.

Outside of these conditions, if you consider yourself to be generally healthy, you should have no concerns about participating. If you do have any concerns, consult your doctor. Alternatively, you can participate with nose breathing advised. This is not a substitute for medical advice.

CARDIOVASCULA DISEASE:

Every time you breathe out, you're exhaling carbon dioxide that was made by your body. A delicate balance of carbon dioxide is important to maintain the pH of your blood and your oxygen levels.

DETACHED RETINA OR GLAUCOMA:

Increasing the rate of breathing can cause pressure in the head and neck. Its advised against practising CCB for those a detached retina or glaucoma.

DIAGNOSED BRAIN OR ABDOMEN ANEURYSM:

If there has been any damage to the brain and abdomen, increasing pressure within the blood vessels can be very dangerous. It is not advised to do CCB.

EPILEPSY:

The autonomic nervous system regulates body functions like breathing. Seizures can disrupt this system. Bracing patterns of seizures can be triggered with CCB which may cause another seizure. Clients must consult their primary care physician or have a deep understanding of their body.

DIAGNOSED BIPOLAR OR SCHIZOPHRENIA:

During CCB their might be a change in blood pH and brain chemistry. Activation without experience can be overwhelming. CCB can also release stress and trauma and participants may need more support in their practice.

UNCONTROLLED DIABETES OR THYROID CONDITIONS:

Diaphragmatic breathing can effect blood sugar levels. If a participant has uncontrolled blood sugar levels, it is uncertain how the breathwork would effect them. We recommend the client consults their Primary Care Physician before doing any CCB.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:

Fast breathing activates the sympathetic nervous system, which increases heart rate, increasing overall blood pressure. The same is true opposite. Slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system which decreases the heart rate and dilates blood vessels, reducing your overall blood pressure. Those with high blood pressure are advised to consult with their primary care physician before practicing CCB.

PREGNANCY:

During the practice of CCB, the breather can become hypocapnic. This means the level of carbon dioxide (COz) in their lungs becomes very low. While pregnant. CO2 levels are already low & lung capacity reduced. While breathwork can be a beautiful tool during pregnancy, you can try a very gentle nose breath or other forms of breathwork & supporting exercises.
