FAQ's:

• What is Conscious Breathwork?

Conscious Breathwork is both a psycho-emotional therapeutic practice and an opportunity to deeply explore and glean insight from non-ordinary states of consciousness. It starts by mimicking natural breathing and ends with the individual being "breathed" by the body. Through continuous conscious breathwork, suppressed physiological and emotional stresses are released, allowing them to surface for processing and integration. This practice can trigger the emotional states tied to those stresses, which, once addressed, lead to healing.
Many styles of Conscious Breathwork exist, including Rebirthing Breathwork, Holotropic Breathwork, Transformational Breathing, Clarity Breathwork, Shamanic Breathwork, Integrative Breathwork, Vivation, Breath of Bliss, Biodynamic Breathwork, and more.
