Breathwork Healing

How this normally goes:

• We come in to the little studio and greet everyone. :) 
• We have a communal medicine and chat for a bit before beginning our breathwork session. 
• We will often do a variety of movements (yoga, qi gong, swaying, tai chi, etc.) before we begin our breathwork.
• We usually play a custom playlist of meditation music; we sometimes will have healing sound, rattling, drumming, or toning. 
• You will be nurtured by your facilitator/s with reiki and/or healing touch. (Everything we do is with consent of course.) We may use essential oils, crystals or other sacred objects as well. Because we cap registration at 5 participants (and often have two facilitators), we are better able to attend to your needs.
• Every session is unique as your facilitators use their intuition to guide you in the healing practices that are best suited for you at that moment. 
• We will breathe in the ways that feel right at that moment.
• We may experience a great catharsis and bodily release. 
• Hopefully your ego will take a hike while you blissfully breathe.
• When the session is over you will want to integrate for a while. You are welcome to stay in the studio and journal, drink tea, sit silently, or speak to your facilitators about your experience. 
• We advise that you allow 4-24 hours for integration and reflection. 
• Michele will send a follow-up email with playlist and insights (and you are welcome to email her later with insights!)

 NOTE:

• If you are experiencing economic hardship, please contact us and we'll figure something out for you. 
• Wear comfy clothes that don't restrict your breathing (avoid belts, bras, etc.) Pajamas and Velvet Sweatsuits welcome!
• Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, eye pillow/blindfold (bring the free one you get from your private session or you can borrow one of ours), journal, writing utensil, and water bottle. We know, it's a lot to pack; think of it like a fun expedition! 
• It is advisable that you abstain from mind-altering substances (alcohol, cannabis, etc) for at least 24 hours prior to the session. Try to come with a light stomach and a clear vessel. 
• This group practice is contraindicated for those who are pregnant or those who have: severe asthma, severe heart disease, epilepsy/history of seizures, acute physical injuries, severe diabetes
