There are a million ways to breathe. From boxed breathing to a 3-part breath and everything in between, as we breathe, we feel the expansion of the diaphram and lungs, the sacredness of the breath so gently guiding us home to our truth.
Breathwork is an age old practice where you actually feel the breath move through you. It’s the sacred flow of energy that encourages us to understand the true depths of ourselves simply by being guided through a journey of slowing down the breath, breathing fully into our bodies and listening to what arrives.
I’ve journeyed through many breathwork sessions (cried in many too!), learned the fundamentals of breathing through an integrative breathwork training, the study of prana in my yoga training and understand the interconnectedness of our being through my studies in energy healing.
And here’s what I’ve learned. When we breathe through a 3-part breath (inhale with an open mouth for two, exhale for 1), we cleanse and recalibrate to welcome in the sweetness of what is. I’ve learned that the breath can feel stuck or tight or light and airy. As we breathe through what is, we get comfortable in the uncomfortable and we just let what comes arrive. Through the intersection of breath and life, we come home to ourselves, and see into the beautiful expression that is our being.
Through the practice of breathwork we are supported by the call of the wild, the gentleness of a storm, the expansvieness of your truth. Wherever you land before, during and after a breathwork journey, know that qi (energy) has shifted. A lightness flows through. A sense of inner peace expands within you. Whether you’re feeling stressed or at ease in the present moment, breathwork is an invitation for you to just be.
And so, today I offer you the space to breathe. To place one hand on your heart, the other on your lower belly, close your eyes and feel the breath gently move through you. Notice what you notice and feel what you feel as you open your heart to receive.

During our time together we’ll breathe in and through the body through the slow arc of the 3-part breath to gradually dissolve the boundaries of what is, and welcome you home to yourself. This practice works to calm the body, release stress, clear emotional and energetic stagnation, and deepen into a place of presence.
