Overview

Until relatively recently a niche “out there” thing, breathwork has quickly gained popularity over the last decade, and for a good reason. Known to indigenous cultures for thousands of years and mentioned in the records from ancient cultures from all around the world, it is now beginning to be better understood by modern science and slowly seeping into the mainstream.

We practice a variation of conscious connected breathing, mixed with the elements of Embodied Processing and informed by the latest neuroscience.

We are guided by the following key principles:

• Safety. We meet people where they are at, gently guiding them out of their comfort zones and supporting them through the process, but not pushing them beyond their limits. We focus on integration and safety resourcing, take utmost care to avoid re-traumatising people and provide guidance and support between the sessions when required. We are committed to holding a safe and inclusive space, where the whole of you is welcome. We limit the maximum number of participants and aim to provide a minimum of 1 to 5 facilitator/support to breather ratio. 
  
  

• Integrity. We are committed to the highest level of service, professionalism and ethics in everything we do. We practice what we “preach”, seek to embody our teachings and constantly uplift our knowledge and skills, and take people only as far as we’ve gone ourselves. We do not provide medical advice or guarantees of alleviation of any physical, mental or emotional symptoms. 
  
  

• Agency. We believe no one is “broken” and needs to be “fixed”, and that healing always comes from within. We believe in the wisdom of people’s body, mind and spirit, as well as their wounding. We provide education and guidance for people so they can develop and deepen their understanding, capacity and agency to guide their own healing process. 

Gentle sessions are designed for breathwork beginners, people with currently dysregulated nervous systems, or those who would like to have a safe re-introduction to deep breathwork after a challenging prior experience(s). We provide more education, use lighter music and gentler supportive bodywork facilitations, and focus on developing and strengthening the nervous system capacity and safety resourcing. Capped at 15 people per session.

Advanced sessions are designed to go all-in and are better suited for experienced breathers and people with good nervous system capacity and safety resourcing. We use juicier music (sometimes including live instruments), more hands-on bodywork facilitations, breathe for longer and more actively guide people into and through the deeper end. We focus less on education, and generally keep it shorter and focused on more advanced topics. Capped at 10 people per session.

Benefits?

When we breathe in certain ways, we can allow the unconscious material and unresolved, suppressed or “stuck” energy (particularly related to trauma) to bubble into our awareness and into our bodies. When we know how to approach this and our nervous system has enough capacity to deal with it, this material and energy can be “processed”, “reprogrammed” and resolved, allowing us to get on with our lives.

And it doesn’t have to be all about trauma processing. Breath has its own intelligence and can guide us into the deeper levels of joy, creativity, insight, and connection with our purpose and the people around us. Learning to understand and interact with your breath has been shown to tremendously impact the quality of life.
