Shamama Breathwork Healing

How our sessions usually go:

• We welcome and greet everyone with worth and dignity. 
• We have a communal medicine and chat for a bit before beginning our breathwork session.  Everything we do is optional, of course.
• 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, toning, etc.
• You will be nurtured by your facilitator/s with energy work and healing touch. (Everything we do is with your explicit consent.) Because we keep a ratio of 1 facilitator per 5 participants we are better able to attend to your physical and emotional needs.
• We may use essential oils, crystals or other sacred objects as well. We do not use smoke or incense during breathwork and will be sensitive to all allergies/preferences to scents.
• 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--and you will be using your intuition as well. What will happen is aligned with what will serve you best.
• You will breathe in the ways that feel right at that moment; we will be there to guide you.
• Hopefully your thinking mind will take a little vacation while you blissfully breathe. :)
• You may experience a great catharsis and bodily release, such as crying or shaking. 
• 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.
• Your facilitator will send a follow-up email with playlist and insights (and you are welcome to email with your insights!).

NOTE:

• Wear comfy clothes that don't restrict your breathing (avoid belts, bras, jewelry 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 and avoid a heavy meal two hours prior. Try to come with a light stomach and a clear vessel.
• Group breathwork is contraindicated for those who are pregnant or those who have: severe asthma, severe heart disease, epilepsy/history of seizures, acute physical injuries, or severe diabetes. We can make accomodations for you in a private 1:1 session, but a group setting is not advisable.
• Shamama is inclusive to ALL people! Namaste!
