MY OFFERINGS
Breathwork
This is an active breathing meditation in which we consciously activate the Breath to order to work through aspects of ourselves that are difficult to reach, aspects of ourselves which are holding us back from living, truly, honestly & fully.
We suffer because we are resisting the way things actually are and wishing them to be different.
We can put so much effort into wishing things were different that we often end up being in a lot of pain, when we are in pain we are never in the moment, always caught up in the past or projecting into the future.
What is Breathwork?
This is an active breathing meditation in which we consciously activate the Breath to order to work through aspects of ourselves that are difficult to reach, aspects of ourselves which are holding us back from living, truly, honestly and fully. It can unblock stuck parts or ourselves that allow us to see with more clarity and awareness.
The foundation of this BW is self- love which not only allows us do the best we can for ourselves, but how this also connects to our relationships with others. Self love may seem cliche or self indulging but unless we can feel this connection to ourselves we cannot fully authentically love outside of ourselves.
In this type of ‘Active Breathwork meditation’ the breath will take you where you need to go. If this is your first time to do Breathwork, I suggest going into it with an open heart and mind and let what needs to happen, happen…

Preparation for the online Breathwork class:
Before you arrive, spend a few minutes tuning into how things are for you now & if you want to bring intention to the breathwork. One of the aspects of the bw is working on opening the heart & so if there is something that resonates with you in relation to this. It might help to write/journal before/after if you wish to consider an area of your life or a relationship you would like to bring more flow or balance to. It is also beneficial to make some notes after we finish if anything comes up for you.
You will need a computer or phone to be able to assess the zoom link with volume on your device or you might decide to wear a headset.
We will start sitting but set up a comfortable place to lie flat, on the floor/on a bed – better to have the head flat but if you find that uncomfortable, then something small under the head, a pillow is usually too high. Make sure you are warm but not too warm. Maybe something behind the back of the knees to protect your back. An eye pillow is also recommended or anything to cover the eyes.
During the practice have a pillow or something similar close by as we might make a sound together, this can help to release if you feel tight/stuck. You can also make the sound out loud, without a pillow if you have the space where you are. All participants will be muted for the live class.
If you are pregnant or have any respiratory or heart conditions please let me know before.
Most importantly if this is your first time to do bw, I suggest going into it with an open heart & mind & let what needs to happen, happen.
Have some water close by.
I will be playing music while breathing so I will ask you to check your audio first
We will breath actively for 25 minutes & wind down for 10-15 minutes. This might seem like a long time but when you are in it & especially get into a rhythm with the breathing/get over any resistance, the breathe starts to flow & for most people, it doesn’t feel that long.
Please log in 5 minutes before so we are ready to start on time.
The class is scheduled for 1 hour so there is enough time for sharing at the end. It is also an option to stay longer in the Restorative position or log-off once the breathwork has finished.
