Apprehensive about joining a Breathwork class? Read this

You might have heard or read some crazy things about Active Breathwork – which can bring up some apprehension even if we are curious about it and want to try it!

It can sometimes be compared to a trippy or psychedelic experience, it can bring up emotion we’ve been holding onto for years or I once heard it described as having a ‘cosmic orgasm’ … which I mean … well … yes please! … but also … WTF!?

Yes Breathwork CAN be those things – IF that’s what you are looking for – but it’s your own breath so you are in control and if you aren’t quite ready for galactic orgasms and just want to quieten a busy mind and have  a nice relaxing time – THAT IS POSSIBLE TOO!

I understand that people want to share the crazy Breathwork experiences they have, I mean I do too! But for every crazy experience theres 5 others that were just calm and quiet and well …. just nice and restful!

This is YOUR BREATH. You haven’t ingested any psychedelics and you can take it at whatever pace you like!

In reality, this is YOUR BREATH. You haven’t ingested any psychedelics and you can take it at whatever pace you like to feel safe and comfortable. Want to go slower and take breaks during it? do it! It’s so important to listen to yourself.

There are 2 things needed to have a ‘deep’ breathwork experience – 1) is staying with the breath pattern 2) is feeling relaxed and comfortable! If you don’t have 2) then you’re not quite going to ‘get there’ anyway!

So I always recommend anyone coming to my classes who feel apprehensive to go really slowly and gently – you will actually still have an experience of calm and ease by the end of it – which is an awesome result in itself! The body starts to get more used to it and you can build up to a little more the next time if that feels good to you (or not – take it at your own pace always).

Monday night drop-in Breathwork zoom classes are a BRILL way to dip your toe. Feel free to message me before the class to let me know you’re feeling a tad apprehensive and I’ll keep an eye on ya!

Monday 8pm Irish/UK time. You can book in here.
