FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What style of breathwork do you teach?
I teach SOMA Breath. SOMA Breath uses an energizing blend of ancient breathwork techniques and innovative 'Breathe in Beats' technology to help you realize your full potential.
Can anyone participate?
Yes! If you can breathe - you can participate. I may advise you to avoid doing certain breathing patterns or breath holds in a session if you have a contraindication. I will always go over any contraindications before every session and we will work together so you have the clarity you need to participate. If you have any questions about your ability to participate in the meantime, reach out!
For clarity, these are the contraindications I review at the start of each session:
Forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and extended intense fast breathwork/hyperventilation for more than 5 minutes, should NOT be practiced in the case of any of the following: severe/critical diseases or infections if it impairs your ability to breathe, severe uncontrolled hypertension (usually after a heart attack), organ failure or late-stage terminal illness, pregnancy, if you have epilepsy, a pacemaker, or irregular heart beat (Exception: your doctor gives you specific permission). Some conditions (Eg: tinnitus, hernias) may be aggravated by forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and prolonged, intense, rapid breathing/hyperventilation and careful attention to technique is required.
What are some of the benefits I will experience from breathwork?
By participating in a class, workshop, or a SOMA Breath meditation, you can: awaken dormant functions of the brain, enhance creativity, create heightened states of consciousness and inspiration, improve brain function and mind power, cleanse and purify the bloodstream and lymphatic system, activate stem cells, stimulate self healing, reduce depression/anxiety, clear negative imprints and traumas from early life (0-7 years), reprint with more empowering beliefs and habits, set intentions, create motivation and energy to complete important goals, and rediscover your true self and deeper inner calling.
What do I need to bring to participate in a breathwork class, workshop, or meditation?
Come to each session wearing comfortable clothes. You are worth the comfort you seek. All breathwork techniques should be done on an empty stomach. Avoid eating a full meal at least 1-2 hrs before the session. You will also want to find a quiet space for you to relax if the session is online. For in person, you may want to bring a yoga mat, blanket, or towel to lay on.
