If you’ve never practiced Breathwork before please see set up info below.

HOW TO SETUP YOUR SPACE FOR A VIRTUAL BREATHWORK SESSION

You will want to have a quiet, private, uninterrupted space for your Breathwork session. Make sure any partners, roommates, kids, or pets give you space for your session.
You are going to want to lay down flat (on the bed/couch/floor) with room to completely stretch out. You are going to be laying down breathing for about 55 minutes so make sure you have adequate padding underneath your body to be comfortable.
You will want to be in a receptive body posture with arms and legs uncrossed. Ideally you will have nothing under the neck so your throat will be nice and open. You can have a thin pillow or a folded blanket under the neck but try to avoid a bulky pillow.
A blanket is great to have on top of you or nearby. Body temperatures can fluctuate during Breathwork.
For the breathing portion, you’ll need to set up your device so that you are comfortable lying down and I will be able to see you from the waist up when you are breathing. It’s always a good idea to test that setup out before our session.
Also, please do ‘click in’ to the Zoom meeting 5-10 minutes before our start time so you are all set with the technology. Once the class starts, I will not be able to help you individually with tech issues so do make sure everything is up and running beforehand.

THINGS TO HAVE NEARBY

Any extra padding or props for under your body or knees
An eye pillow or sleeping mask- I ask folks to keep the lights bright enough to see you.
Water, tissues, extra blankets if you tend to get cold.

MAKE YOUR SPACE INTENTIONAL

See what feels right as far as creating sacred, grounded space in advance of your session. Maybe light some incense, burn some sage, write out an intention or two.
Bring together objects, images, crystals, a candle if it’s safe- whatever might support your session.

CONTRAINDICATIONS & CAUTIONS

Listen to your body. You know it better than I do. If anything feels wrong or too much, stop. The practice brings up emotions and strong sensations in the body. For some, it reminds them of sensations related to a panic attack. When in doubt- sit it out. If you're worried or scared about trying this- wait for another time. If you're curious and open for the adventure, by all means join us.
There are some medical and life conditions where breathwork is contraindicated. If you have epilepsy, heart or blood pressure related medical concerns, untreated glaucoma, severe PTSD or psychosis or if you're beyond 12 weeks pregnant, I’d suggest that you contact me for a raincheck or refund. Also, If you've been sick or have had a recent surgery it's smart to wait till you're feeling fully healthy. Asthma isn't a contra indication but- have your inhaler with you.
